Thats funny, we just did the same this week. we connected 2 PC's with TNT2
cards connected via TCP/IP
( we also tried UDP ). One PC was the master sending the current view point
over the net to the slave . The master was rendering the left eye's view and
the slave was rendering the right eye's view. As application we used perfly
with "town_ogl..." as demo,
it worked fine. Up to now, we only watched our demo on 2 PC-screen. Now we
would like to use two projectors, to see how big the latency is between the 2
views and how the latency affects the stereo view of the watching person. Do
you have some experience about that ?
Cheers,
Thomas
