Its nice to see somone mention geometric algebra :). I had coded some GA stuff for squeak a while ago, for use with Jasmine Croquet (I think to make the transforms for 3D head-tracking + stereo projection friendlier). But the code is probably fairly crufty :). I'd be interested in looking at doing a GA implementation once things get a bit more mature (and there is a tutorial where I don't have to look at filthy language!). cheers, Daniel Faken _______________________________________________ fonc mailing list [email protected] http://vpri.org/mailman/listinfo/fonc
