Thanks George for your reply to my question! Its exciting to hear you give such a timetable, for this large of scale, 3D visual computing. I think the ability to create photo realistic 3D representations paralleling our physical world and our creative thought and merging the two in new ways will be the one of the most striking changes in our future, so I was curious when they would be possible on a mass scale. In addition, some sceptics question the usefulness of having unlimited bandwidth and computing power and I think they fail to see this new paradigm emerging, where human communication will transcend anything we have known in the past. I saw a show on researchers using a very basic model of what I am talking about, to analyze how a Hurricane works, where they were creating 3D virtual worlds out of the data that was collected, from planes flying through the storm, and the researchers could navigate virtually through the storm reaching out to touch areas they wanted to get a closer look at. The computing power was used to process the sensory data being collected and putting it in a visual format that was more easily processed by the human mind to give a greater understanding of what was going on in the storm. Thanks again for your answer! JW
