This is a three-parter:

1) Has anybody out there had actual success using AVRIL with the
Virtual i-glasses (w/ head tracker)?  I couldn't get it working on my
first attempt.

2) Anybody have any updates on when the AVRIL source will be released?

3) I've been ruling out VRML for my work on the assumption that it's
more for internet-based applications.  (I'm involved in a study
looking at the relationship between vision and balance, and also eye
tracking.)  One thing we plan on doing is moving a stereoscopic dot
around an otherwise empty VR world whose position is determined by eye
position and the output of a data file.  Am I correct that VRML is not
suited to this, or do you think I should give it a closer look?

Thanks in advance,
