Just a super long take that shifted the lens from 80mm focal point (35mm 
equivalent) to 35,000mm focal point  some camera!!! lol.

>Holography would be the next step 

The first holographic movie I know about was in a zootrope form. The guys 
arranged photo plates 360 degrees around the model sitting on a chair at the 
centre. She rose from the chair as the plates were exposed sequentially. Then 
viewed with the laser split to the developed plates and arranged to make a 
cylinder ... when the cylinder rotated the model could be seen, in 3D, to rise 
from the chair. Probably all in that weird chrome doped ruby crystal laser red 
colour of the age. It was several decades ago now. On the west coast someplace.

Your "bad" eyesight probably saved you. 

>But nothing beats a good script ;)

.. yes!!! Lol.

My friend got a headache too but I did not, despite my bad eyesight. Yes, maybe 
it has to do with the difference between eye focus and camera focus that's 
fixed in the image.
Holography would be the next step but that's probably far away, especially 
holographic rendering (does that exist already??). But nothing beats a good 
script ;)

Re: RS7 Ubuntu Linux all the shortcuts are not working but camera movements

Disabeling NUMLOCK worked fined, but it's annoying.

Thankyou

I think this is a known bug and is actually a limitation imposed by 
the motif gui engine. I think they will work if you disable num-lock.
If that is the case, there is a way to make these work along with the 
num-lock, it has been covered on the RS wiki:

It is the fourth tip.

It might also be worth checking that these key combinations are not 
being intercepted by your session manager to control various 
windows functions instead of being passed to RS3D.

Hi Mark,

I saw Avatar too in Imax format. But I must say this stereo projection gave
me a headache too.
Not just me, but my son and daughter were complaining too.
I think I had problems with focusing on the subtitles and the image at the
same time.
Furthermore, because of the 3D effect, you get the idea you can choose to
focus on background or foreground.
But that's not possible of course.

Arjo.
