Stereo Graphics Support

Im not sure if its been mentioned or discussed before but:

I Think any new video interface system should have support for
stereoscopic viewing. Either with LCD Shutter Glasses or Head Mounted
Displays. Windows has no standard way of doing this, and given the
architecture of the windows drivers it is very difficult to "tack it
on".

Basically all that is needed is the ability to support several special
"tweaked" video modes, and a mechanism for having frame synch control.
(To toggle the eye/frame for LCD Shutter Glasses.) Also some new cards
have support for this in hardware so it makes sense for the video
drivers to expose this functionality in a standard way.

What do other people think.

3d Games are way cool with LCD Shutter glasses and the biggest thing
holding back this technology is a standard programming interface.
