Right,

first I limited the distribution a little, such a large crossposting
is antisocial.

There is an LCD based set of glasses your wear for the amiga, they
block each eye while the frame for the other eye is being
displayed. The hardware is called X-SPECS 3D and costs $125.

The problem is not the hardware; some bright eyed creative
genius like me (major :-) ) just needs to sit down and
hack out an 'enviroment'.

So then, I call for more suggestions (there have already been
a few) on what it should look like, this enviroment.

Mail me, post if you must, but expect a summary
once the dust settles.

Thanks,

David Neal
