Very cool.  I'm glad you have such experience.  Could you make
a very simple 3d java applet as a proof of concept, e.g., for displaying
a list of points in 3-dimensional space?  It would be good to include
something like this with SAGE in order to get a feel for our options
and what some of the issues are.
