It was demonstrated here last week.  Is is very impressive, albeit quite 
expensive.  They say that a new version will be released early next year.
The salesperson told us that the driving force behind this product is the 
display processing technology and the need to find applications for it, 
such as computational chemistry and molecular modeling.  The 3D display is 
very convincing.
