Stereo 3D [api wish]

In the near future we will all be amazed by the level of progression technology has taken in the last 10 years but especially right now. As Archicad continues to lead the advent of wonderful technology it would interesting to have Archicad develop an API for Stereo 3D. Such that you can put on some glasses project your project onto a wal or on your desktop machinel at see it in 3D without the complexity or expense of building a "cave" system.

Does VBE (virtual building explore) already do that? I haven't used it as much as I would like so this wish might already be taken care of.

Thanks for your time.

Yes, VBE already does this. You can download free VBE demo files from the graphisoft web site, put on your 3D glasses and try it out.

Yes, I remember Karl, when VBE came out you even changed your Avatar to the 3D glasses.

🙂 And, I removed it when I found that VBE would not use all cores on my MacPro to render the Global Illumination. Will bring the avatar back when VBE is polished. 🙂
