Having run http://igargoyle.com/ since 2002, I don't see that happening anytime soon.
Anyways, this is digressing a lot, anyone have experience setting up multiple cameras to capture panoramas? Anyone have experience stitching these images? Thanks, Tom Longson (nym) http://igargoyle.com/streetview/ On 6/12/07, Andrew Larcombe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I think the problem is we're still using mostly 2d technology to interact with these computer things which makes a 2d gui more natural. 3d will be great when we've all ditched our trackpads and in favour of immersive hardware - 3d headcams & gloves. Or a holodeck - whichever comes sooner.
