     I also heard a report on the TV news, though I didn't get a 
     chance to check this out in person, of a television with a 360 
     degree screen, where no matter where you sat in relationship to 
     the screen, you would see a perfectly normal picture. That's 
     something I'd like to check out. Any info, anybody?]
     
     This is a feature of a display which I saw recently - it was a 
     LINE display, on which the scan line (potentially X, or Y, but in 
     the case I saw it was a horizontal line) is presented on the 
     display. Scanning in the other direction (vertical) is provided 
     by headwear. 
     The implementation I saw was a prototype; monochrome (green 
     LEDs), and using vibrating mirrors in the goggles. 
     Advantages included that the display itself takes up very little 
     room. The developers (CelciusTech in Sweden) anticipated the 
     integration of colour, and multiple lines allowing for layered or 
     stereo displays, as well as a vertical line display which would 
     appear the same to observers located anywhere around it.
     They called it the CelciusTech LINUS display.
