Pretty neat, will we be able to zap together buildings just by thinking about it? The article mentions IBM is working with them, isn't LL tied to IBM too? /me loves technology Katt |

Yeah, I saw that yesterday. And I read about the original prototype last year. Like you, I immediately thought "what a great building tool that could be". I envisioned myself hurtling large objects through 3D space with the power of my mind, like a Jedi.
It'll be some years yet before this kind of technology becomes practical. When it does, it will be pretty amazing (and more than a little scary, too). _____________________
