[AG-TECH] 3D AG

[Darin Oman]

This is way cool! We finally checked it out. The cameras are a little misaligned vertically, but I was able to adjust the window accordingly. One thing that might make it difficult for practical AG purposes is that the cameras are a little out of sync, so when there was a lot of movement, it appeared very choppy. I'm not sure how you could adjust that. We'll be playing around with this idea ourselves. One thing I'd like to try is messing with the focal point to see if you could get the image to come out at you rather than away from you.

Cool stuff!
