I'd also like to say a special thanks to Patrick (aka God) who, as always, gave a great presentation ("...so I had to develop this" [digging into a bag for another little electronic gizmo] ). For you that weren't there: a system for stereoscopic remote viewing, ultimately intended to go into a RC plane, giving you the "in-cockpit view" of the world, with superimposed display of aircraft attitude and some instrument readings.

This toy of Patrick's was very, very cool.

To elaborate... the RC car used as a test bed for the plane had two gimble-mounted, independent-feed cameras to achieve realistic (and I mean unbelievably realistic) depth perception. When you "looked around" the cameras would look about-- not unlike the eyes of a small dog.

Due to various inadequacies of commercially available parts, the majority of the hardware was custom designed. So cool.

Apparently Patrick drives it around his neighborhood from the bedroom.
