3d DLP WorldWind Plugin

WorldWind is a free opensource planetary visualization system developed by NASA. The program overlays NASA and USGS satellite imagery, aerial photography, topographic maps and publicly available GIS data on 3D models of the Earth and other planets. WorldWind also incorporates a plugin system that allows users and developers to create add-ons and extra features for the software. I have created a plugin that allows the software to be used with stereoscopic 3D DLP TV's. The plugin code is based on based on Bjorn Reppen and Patrick Murris' anaglyph and interlaced plugins. Essentially, the plugin renders right and left viewpoints and overlays them using a checkerboard pattern compatible with 3D TV's.
Download the plugin here (right click and save the file as pixelaced.cs)

INSTALLATION:
To install the plugin click Plug-Ins --> Load/Unload --> Install and select Pixelaced.cs (the file you downloaded from above), then click install.
If you wish to have the plugin load at startup you can add the line;
<anyType xsi:type="xsd:string">Pixelaced Stereo 3D</anyType>
to WorldWind.xml under the pluginsloaded at startup section located in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\NASA\World Wind\version\
To start worldwind in fullscreen mode use "worldwind.exe /f" .

USAGE:
After installation, a Pixelaced 3D tab will be available in the layer manager, check it to activate the 3D DLP option. Right clicking "Pixelaced Stereo 3D" and selecting properties brings up the options dialog which are essentially the same as the built in Anaglyph plugin. InterocularDistance changes the stereo offset (distance between l/r images), and the FocusAngle changes the point at which the two images merge.
