World: r3wp

It's good because it matches exactly the algorithm AGG uses to draw 
the image (I am pretty sure anyway .:)

Yep, locked on solid :)

Anton, what is your plan with it? For what use do you need such a 
space-transformation routine?

Ahaha.... :)

Think - reverse transform.

You have a "twisted" image and want the original one!? :-)

not image - individual points, one at a time

Why View should not admit defeat.

anton, ahhh, so that's what you needed it for :-) very, very good 
demo

that is pretty neat anton!

actually that is almost slashdottable

but I wouldn't do that to anton's server...

where's the source?

somewhere in the Australian wilderness?

I wouldn't call Melbourne a wilderness!

Not that I would ask a user to use a rotated and skewed gui..!

Why not ? Novell with their XGL on the rotated desktop thinks it's 
useful.

Actually Melbourne is a bit of a wilderness, in a way.

source coming... hang on

Not familiar with Novell/XGL.  Got a link?

it's a linux thing

Here, but there is a video somewhere...
http://www.novell.com/linux/xglrelease/

I"m trying to install Suse on a new AMD motherboard and it doesn't 
recognise the video on the motherboard, and so get some rather disturbing 
effects.

Some videos of XGL here:

Ah here it is:

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7587965514994593432&q=xgl&pl=true

too bad the framerate is so low. the effects are completely smooth

You can download the video to get smoother playback locally.

do http://home.wilddsl.net.au/anton/rebol/gui/demo-virtual-face.r

Tested on View 1.3.2.3.1

Hehe, that's pretty fun! :-) Good job!

Thanks, appreciate all the feedback.

Maybe reverse perspective transform routine should be in rebcode 
to get speed?

Would be good, but that's not the bottleneck at all.

Anton: I can put the video on my surfnet account, bandwidt enough, 
so you can be slashdotted. Suppl me with a page with all the credits, 
and ...

/.

(credits for you, I'm just mirroring)

Wait wait ! I don't think it's good for "world" consumption.

question: are the events ent over TCP

No, not TCP.

You australians are so modest;-)

Ah.. of course you don't mean you're going to make a post to slashdot. 
Mirror as you wish.

Only if you need it, let me know if you get to much viewers. As long 
as it are only the rebelopers I guess it isn't necessary.

The events are captured in wake-event. Instead of just allowing wake-event 
to DO them, I simulate DO with my reverse-engineered version (mimic-do-event). 
Since I have programmed it I can add features like event-transparent 
faces.

If you can hook up the events to a tcp port we can give X a run for 
its money

My ISP will let me know if they are too flooded. :-) But I don't 
think it will be a problem.

Interesting... can't think what that allows immediately. Do you have 
an application in mind ? Why would that be better than handling events 
natively ?

Application sharing (ui projection over the net)

Event synchronization in application sharing

Ah like shared paint app..

Hmm...
