I don't know of any HDTV monitors that can handle stereo. Also, the
bandwidth exceeds what RealityEngine can produce, since our hidef
video formats are 1600x1200++at++60Hz and 1920x1035++at++30Hz-interlaced. With
a suitable monitor and a custom RealityEngine video format (or an
external converter), something like 1600x600++at++120Hz or 1920x500++at++60Hz
might be possible, at least technically. In sort, I don't think
there's an off-the-shelf way to do put a system together to do
stereo in this way.
Another approach would be to use two hidef video projectors with
polarization filters, each driven by a RealityEngine graphics
pipeline. This has the advantage that you'd get the full vertical
resolution, could use regular polarizing glasses rather than
shutter glasses, would have more graphics processing power, and
can be assembled from commercially available components.
