Gee, it's very difficult for me to refrain from "flame" mode here... but are
you guys kidding? (Gee, who needs to point out stuff on a projected MONO
slide, eh?) Obviously your ideas about the uses of projected stereo are
limited indeed. Even George Themelis thought I was pulling his leg! (George,
I'm very SERIOUS about 3D you know!) To widen your stereo horizons, know
that 3D projection is often for instruction... in fact, I am working with a
neurosurgeon who would like to point out various structures within the
anatomical stereos of the brain he has stereographed... he is currently
limited to the surface of the screen.

to me!<

Way to go, Larry!

Bob Wier: thanks for the heads up on the archives... apparently Ed Jameson
was working on a prototype.
