This is related to the BBC tomorrows world programme I think it was featured this Wednesday on the programme but I had the sound turned down because I was on the phone. There was a repeated programme about 2 ocklock the following morning which I videoed and watched last night but it turned out to be last weeks programme. I will try to make shure I record the programme when it is repeated next Thursday morning. The device was placed centraly in a room and scanned in all directions producing a computer type 3D image but the finished product seemed to be easily be rotated to give different views so stereo pairs should be possible.
