Bino does not support NVIDIA 3D Vision on non-Quadro graphics cards at
the moment. With a Quadro graphics card, NVIDIA lets you use "OpenGL
stereo" with the 3D Vision glasses, but they restrict this feature on
their standard graphics cards.

It is possible to make Bino work with 3D Vision on standard cards at
least on Linux via libnvstusb, but this is not yet implemented.

Furthermore, Bino (or any other free software) cannot read BluRay discs
directly because of the restrictions placed on this format. If it is
legal in your jurisdiction to do so, you could first convert the BluRay
video to an unrestricted format, e.g. Matroska (.mkv).

As for "Real 3d" glasses: I don't know what these are; making this
work depends on how your projector / monitor / TV wants the
stereoscopic video to be delivered by Bino. Do you have any information
on that?
