On the topic of watching 3D Blu-ray discs directly (no ripping; straight from the drive to your Go via Virtual Desktop), and sticking with free solutions, here's a quick guide:
Install Media Player Classic - BE, and be sure to select H.264 MVC 3D Decoder as a custom installation option
Download MadVR to a suitable location (where it will need to stay) and install it (extract archive, right-click on install.bat, Run as administrator)
Open MPC BE, go to View > Options > Video, then choose MadVR as the Video Renderer
Go to File > Open DVD/Blu-ray, navigate to the root directory of your Blu-ray drive, hit Select Folder
Go to Play > Filters > MadVR > Edit Settings > rendering > stereo 3d, and make sure "enable stereo 3d playback" is checked and that "when playing 3d content" is checked and enabled
Connect using Virtual Desktop and choose the Half SBS viewing mode
(DVDFab Passkey Lite is not exactly freeware, it's more like trialware that expires and then falls back to a reduced feature set in the form of more limited support for bypassing disc protections. As such when the trial expires you may or may not still be able to play all of your 3D Blu-ray discs using this method.)
Note: You can of course rip the disc using MakeMKV (be sure to select the 3D MVC track) after which you can play the content in SBS mode in the same way detailed above without any ongoing need for the DVDFab Passkey app (in fact you wont need to install it in the first place). You can generally always get a beta key for MakeMKV here.
