For a giant list of professional Stereo3D software go to the Stereographics site for the CrystalEyes software catalog. There you'll find tons of really expensive stuff for SGI and other top-workstations. Enjoy :-) !

I strongly recommend to download the StereoGraphics Developers' Handbook and the CrystalEyes Software Development Kit Handbook in Acrobat format from the StereoGraphics website. It's like getting two excellent books on Stereo3D principles and programming (especially stereo-OpenGL) for free.

Also important for development purposes: www.vesa.org; www.mpeg.org.
