P3D 3D Goggles For Macintosh! NEED YOUR HELP TO MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Heya,
Computer hardware manufacturer Formac makes really cool 3D goggles that
work with its video card that permits the LCD-based "alternating left eye
right eye" viewing on a normal Mac monitor. And wireless. (it syncs the
flashing via infrared). And both the high-quality video card and the
goggles are < $400!

It's really cool, but it does not currently work with Stereoscopic stills.
It only works with games, CAD programs, or other programs that provide an
entire 3D model and the card's driver draws the entire thing for both eyes
-- you
can NOT provide two separate images and display them using this system.
But, **it can be done**. They just need to add the appropriate OpenGL
option in their video card driver. They would do it if we can convince them
it'd be useful.
I'd really love to use the 3D goggles for digital stereo positioning and
display, and I'd be willing to write software to use it (I'm a Mac
programmer).
Here's what I need (what they asked for):
Names of Software for Mac that SUPPORT ANY STEREOSCOPIC IMAGERY.
Such apps might be a target market for this feature. I'm not looking for a
list of 'standard' imaging apps like Photoshop -- they already know those.
Please send me the product name, manufacturer, and URL for any Mac software
that supports any stereoscopic imagery. I'll compile the list and send it
to them.
thanks,
-- j. christopher
