I look forward to their contributions to this BBoard. There is quite a great deal of interest in this area in DoD as the next step in human interface technology for the mid to late 90s. Some research $s are being spent in planning for this. Some questions I have are: is this one of the next great paradigms for computing, or will it be an expensive curiosity? Will it replace most other visual entertainment media in a few years, or will cost/complexity blunt this potential? ================================================================= Dave Davis McLean, VA
