I saw their presentation at Hackers'.  They had (plans for?) the coolest window
system I've ever seen.  The windows were all about you in space, normal to 
the radial vector from your face to the window center.  You would turn your
head to see windows behind you, and reach out with the glove and grab one
to move it about or bring it in front of others. 

Now THAT'S BANDWIDTH!  I'd like to see Robotroff for that sucker.  Little
gnat flying around like the fly in the video with the Robot Drummer (sorry,
can't attribute the video).
