I asked someone in the Shimojo lab here, he pointed me to the
StereoGraphics web site; they claim that CrystalEyes
(http://www.StereoGraphics.com/html/crystaleyes.html) will work with the
Mac, though according to my source it requires an extra hardware gadget to
do the frame-doubling.  Their goggles are on expensive side, I think the
whole system costs over $1000...maybe if you just got the frame-doubler it
would work with someone else's goggles...
