Know what made me interested in MVIS in the first place? I've noticed that many posters are interested in Sci-Fi. So am I. Not so that I'm buried in paperbacks on the subject, but I like the ideas of potential chaos resulting from time travelling and that sort of stuff. In 1995 -before I was aware of MVIS' existence- I wrote a few chapters of a book. Slightly drifting into the realms of SF. The futuristic theme I had great fun in toying around with, was that the main character had (mysteriously!) received a device: A pair of glasses. These glasses enabled him to, by voice, access a waste amount of information to be shown as a screen before his eyes. Sounds familiar? So, when he walked down a road in a place he'd never been before, he could just ask for any information about surrounding buildings, companies, sites, people -you name it. His system was of course equipped with a GPS satellite navigation system, so he/his machine would always know exactly where he/it was. Two years later (and the book project long abandoned), I first learnt about MVIS. It was an immediate 'click'. Now, the display system is more or less already there (VRD). The navigation system is there, and the information can be gathered from the Internet. I like that idea. Won't it be fun to be a tourist in the near future with this technology? You'll even be able to speak the language of the natives, 'cause the built in (sorry, it does cost you an extra) speech recogniser will display all you need. Kim -in the SF mood. Literally talking to myself ;-)
