Hi Gavin!

(It's funny: you always meet the same people in very different places
;) )

These are just some pointers (some of them outdated):

The VTK-toolkit (which paraview is based on) seems to support
stereo-rendering 

http://www.vtk.org/doc/release/5.2/html/a01192.html

One (possibly outdated) method to get it to work in Paraview is
described here:

I think (not sure) that MayaVi (another postprocessor based on VTK)
had the option to switch to stero-rendering

I know this is sketchy, but it's all I know (maybe somebody here can
tell you more)

Bernhard
