CD-Roms appear to be the next wave of "amazing new technology that will
revolutionize your life and you can't survive without".  Seriously folks
I've read in some paper that a company out west is working on "walking tours"
of London, i.e. surrogate travel via CD-Roms.  My question is while
such things have been done for years on video disks, and purly computer 
generated graphics, what are people doing with the CD's?  Are they attempting
to play video from a CD? or are they storing purely digital image data?

The bandwidth of data out of a CD is to low to do video, without major 
data compresssion trick. Anyone know what sort of stuff is going on, and
how people are trying to put video on CD-Roms, if they are?
