[Edu-sig] 3d goggles -- any recommendations

Hi Kirby,

This is excellent (and if anyone can tell me where I can order such 
glasses, please do! (Need them delivered to the United Kingdom)). I'd love 
to use this, too -- seems ideal for presentations and lectures.

I remember reading your email about it ;-)

However, I am still interested in the more high-tech product I did ask 
for: it's appealing in another sense.

Thanks,

Hans
