Stereoscopic 3D molecular viewing
If you can make your eyes go cross-eyed or wall-eyed, then you might be able to see Sirius Yellow in 3D. The molecule is shown below with cross-eyed stereo above and wall-eyed stereo below, in different sizes in order to aid practice and facilitate viewing. Additionally, stacking them in this way creates an amusing effect. Try both ways of stereoscoping viewing to see for yourself.
There is another mode of stereo 3D viewing, which is known as quad-buffered OpenGL 3D, and it is supported in our PyMOL build. You need special glasses and a monitor with a very fast refresh rate in order to appreciate quad-buffered stereo. Meanwhile, almost anyone can cross or wall their eyes with some practice, and no additional or expensive equipment is required for that. Use what's in your head. Cheers!
