Does anyone know the exact specification of Showscan?  I heard that it
involves filming and projecting the film at twice the normal speed, for
a greater impact on the audience, but I'm not absolutely sure.

Please mail me any more info you might have; if there is a demand I will
summarize and post at a later date.

(BTW, if anyone does happen to go to Tsukuba, check out the Computer Music
booth, set up by Lejaren Hiller, Charles Ames, Robert Franki, and Robert
Coggeshall (all from SUNY/Buffalo).  More on this later in net.music.synth.)
