Awful -- a whole lot of stroking and retries succeeds in rotating a 3-D animation of a skull; and not much else. Oh yeah, there is an image of Jupiter, and the demonstrator zooms the images. I am struck by the apparent crudeness and difficulty of controlling the system; a separate interface with or without a touch screen in which the controller shares the audiences' perspective would seem to make more sense. Not remotely ready for dynamic control of a huge display!
