How do they handle the video mode and the head-mounted displays? Just how bad is the resolution and speed? I've seen a few demos of their system and I know the personnel involved. I'm unsure of the current tech they're using for the HMD. Last time I looked it was the screens from a pair of Sony TVMan thingies. The resolution is poor; the speed is okay, with the major limit being the Polhemus tracker, which has some serious lag times. -- --Alan Wexelblat Bull Worldwide Information Systems internet: wex@pws.bull.com phone: (508) 294-7485 (new #) Usenet: spdcc.com!know!wex "The aim of life, its only aim, is to be free.
