VRizer: Stereoscopic Uutput for OpenGL Programs

Posted by Hemos on from the you-just-blew-my-mind dept.

An anonymous reader writes "VRizer was developed at the Ars Electronica Futurelab to utilize conventional OpenGL games or OpenGL software for virtual reality or virtual environment setups. This is done in Linux, by creating a library that, when preloaded, intercepts the proper OpenGL/SDL calls to create 2 stereoscopic views out of 1 single frame stream. So the original software (the game) is not altered in any way.
VRizer now works best for UT2003, but a few other games were tested succesfully: FooBillard, TuxRacer, Scorched3D, Neverball, Armagetron, Trackballs. For download (binary only for now) and screenshots see the project and the website"

      If you cross your eyes so that the O in OpenGl covers the U, it's spelled correctly.

      It's a demonstration of the technolgy.
