I doubt that Jmol will use OpenGL in a near future: it would require to re=
design and rewrite all the rendering engine to use OpenGL primitives inste=
ad of drawing directly in a bitmap.

Depending on the technology used for your stereo display system, it could =
be used for Jmol with few modifications (or even no modifications) :
- if it's based on different colors to separate the eyes, then Jmol should=
 already work (stereo commands in the menu)
- if it's based on odd/even pixels to separate the eyes, this was discusse=
d some time ago. It shouldn't be too much difficult to do it.
