According to the New York Times (3/13) a Canadian company called Video Effects has a hockey video game in which you play the goalie. A video camera monitors your movements and displays them on the screen, where they interact with the video game. They also have a demo where you can play a drum just by drumming your arms. -kee -- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Alphalpha Software, Inc. | Voice/Fax: 617/646-7703 | Home: 617/641-3805 | | 148 Scituate St. | Smart fax, dial number. | | | Arlington, MA 02174 | Dumb fax, dial number, | BBS: 617/641-3722 | | nazgul@alphalpha.com | wait for ring, press 3. | 300/1200/2400 baud | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
