The 3D functionality of the projector can be used either for displaying 3D content from the Linux workstation (w12.keck2.ucsd.edu) or from the Blu-ray player connected to the projector in front of the room.

• Turn the projector on using the wall switch on the right wall in front of the room
• make sure the Blu-ray video scaler is Off. It is located on top of the BD player in the lower shelf behind the plexiglass. The red LED should be lighted. If the green LED is on you need to turn the unit off by pressing the power on/off button on the front panel.
• Log in tow12.keck2.ucsd.edu workstation - this is the workstation closest to the projector screen in front of the room.
• After you log in there the projector should show part of your linux desktop. If it is not see troubleshooting steps below.
• Open a terminal vindow and start NVidia application nvidia-settings. This application will allow you to change resolution of the projected image and also will help you to turn on 3D mode of the projector.
• To turn switch the projector to 3D mode change the projector screen resolution (on DFP-2) to 1280x720 and select 120Hz as the refresh rate. Click Apply. The image on the projector screen should dim a little.
• Now the projector is ready to display 3D content from your application.
• To actually see the 3D effect you need to put on one pair of 3D glasses and turn them on. This is done by briefly pushing the On button on the left inside of the glasses' frame. The image should go dark for about 1 sec indicating the glasses are on.

To enable stereo in VMD load your molecule and then go to Display → Stereo→ Quadbuffered. The molecule representation on the projector screen should change to a slightly shifted double image. Put on the stereo glasses and turn them on. You should be able to see the image in 3D now. If the image looks a little strange and there is no depth perspective try to swap the stereo eyes: Display→ Stereo Eye Swap → On.

Dino is a movie player which allows to display 3D content.
