I read a very small blurb about Texas Instruments new 3D bubble display
that creates a 3D image in a 2" diameter sphere.  The image is viewable
from any angle without special lenses or glasses.

Question:  How does it work?  What is the image quality?  Is real-time
	   animation possible?  Is it color?

(OK, that was more than one question :-) )

I am VERY interested in this because I am working on a viewer-independant
3D system myself (no details yet, I am still experimenting).  I want to know
if TI has beaten me to it or if there is still hope for improvement or different
approaches.

Posted or e-mail replies welcome.


				Thanks in advance,
