    Engineers at Manhattan-based Dimensional Media Associates (DMA)
    are developing a new 3D display technology that may enable users
    to teleconference in 3D or 'touch' goods for sale on the
    Web.  Initial applications for the Multiplanar Volumetric Display
    are in medical imaging, auto manufacturing and other high-end
    tasks.  But prototypes of 3D displays are expected on desktops in
    six months.  While today's graphics cards have 3D features, PC
    Magazine points out the data is trapped inside the card and once
    it travels to the monitor, it is squeezed onto a 2D surface.  So
    the effect is simulated 3D.  DMA has come up with a way to free the
    data so images don't just seem to float in space -- but actually
    do.
