avatars This may start with games, but it will lead to virtual control of devices. I envision someone in a body suit interacting with a picture of a building, while a giant robot with complete feedback and control is actually assembling the beams and girders of an actual building. Someone else in a similar suit is interacting with an image of tissue, while a tiny robot is removing the smallest traces of lung disease from a patient. I hope they bring the games on soon, because the real tornado will begin afterwards. TP

generated into 3D worlds that people can navigate thru for educational or entertainment purposes entering doors or clicking on symbols to navigate into history. Imagine navigating down a 3D street into the White House to check out what a 3D computer animated recreation of John F. Kennedy is doing in 1963. In group mode you see other people from the real world navigating through this world and can talk to him. If you and I were there at the same time I could say, hey Gregory I see you are interested in John F. Kennedy. Joe, I encourage you to read a book called Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. It describes a very powerful vision of an Internet where people interact with each other via Avatars. Surprisingly, the book is over 10 yrs old and preceeds (or prognosticates) the development of the modern Internet. Heeren
