Whoa cool stuff. I'd have to try it out though, looks like it could be a bit fiddly. Looking forward to seeing what it will do.

I played with some stereoscopic glasses 3D stuff for molecular biology when I worked at SGI. I have a shit ton of hours flying high performance planes in every imaginable orientation and I still got sick to my stomach every time I put those damn puke glasses on! lol
