StereoGraphics also has a head tracker which is shipped with a library which makes implementation a 10 minute job. Allows the viewer to examine on-screen objects from a hemisphere in front of the monitor. I have yet to use it so I don't know the details but if there are interested parties, I can dig up the docs and perhaps spend some time subjectively rating it. I believe you are referring to Digital Image Design's (DID) software. DID, StereoGraphics and LogiTech have a cooperative head-tracking arrangement. DID provides the software, StereoGraphics the glasses augmented with the ultrasound tracking from LogiTech's 2D6D mouse. For info on the software, you can contact: Brad Paley Digital Image Design 170 Claremont Ave, Suite 6 NY NY 10027 TEL: 212-222-5236 FAX: 212-864-1189 Oh, and StereoGraphics can modify their hardware to your specs. We have some glasses which are modified to go clear when looking away from the monitor for multiple viewing situations. This is standard in their new glasses. -- ----------------------------------------------- Clifford Beshers 450 Computer Science Department Columbia University New York, NY 10027 Office: (212) 854-8184 Fax: (212) 666-0140 Email: beshers@cs.columbia.edu
