I very much doubt it. If I understand it correctly this systems only 
works with DirectX applications. Since (Win)Coot uses OpenGL rather than 
DirectX it is unlikely to work (although there seem to be some emulators 
around, but who knows what they do). Furthermore the 3D bundle requires 
the application to run in full screen mode, which is currently not 
available for (Win)Coot. So I guess we need to wait a bit longer and 
hope that Nvidia (or whoever else) comes up with a proper quad-buffered, 
OpenGL solution for LCD 3D viewing.
