Obtaining Stereographics Using a Two-Monitor System and a Set of Mirrors

Nowadays is quite common to find personal computers with two monitors, all they need is a video card with outputs to (at least) two monitors, which should be as identical as possible, and show each image in the stereo pair, through each monitor. This paper shows first how to build a simple set of mirrors so that each eye will look at a different monitor, and second, how to write an OpenGL code that computes correct stereo pairs of a moving scene and displays them, each on its own monitor, enabling us to see it in real 3D.
