That website is really cool. It's almost like what NORRT and SNORRT planned on for the web controlled bot in the SOE building. Since a HCI profeesor posted the link, what do y'all think about it in terms of HCI?

Of course, if you want to simulate the lag between Earth and Mars, you can load up DaleDoe's VR Final Project. :-P It's an OpenGL driving simulation that did take place in the 4th demension. (You can go through walls) hehe! Mind you, it was a beta version that I saw, and it was running on one of the computers in CS 2029, so movementt was slow. I know Dale will get me back for this one. I maintain that my molecule simulated partical decay.

Wow that this website is really neat idea. I bet younger kids would really love it. Any plans to try a similar project at SIUE?
