He (and the research group working on this) needs to do a bit of library research first. This type of interface was proposed and implemented at Xerox PARC in the early 1970s (and in fact, was part of the research that led to the mouse interface when it turned out not to be practical to wire everyone's office for projection onto the walls). It's hardly new work, or even particularly original. I think my Dandetiger still has the wrist-strap pointer I/O hardware for the PARC prototype for this stuff. I'll have to go look. Hopefully it still boots. Winter has been hard on my hardware archive this year. > I wonder when VM or VSE would support this interface, huh? All I can say is "and they call 3270s counter-intuitive?". Can you imagine trying to teach someone who doesn't know it this sort of interface? Most of us can't dance that well...8-)
