Hi Niall;
(in any currency), but as you say, they want you to be tied to a company. I'm tied to the Canadian Government, so that was ok with them. (I'm not going to debate their licensing policy) The nice thing about the technology is that it is supported by many companies, and it works very well.
of audio; but not in terms of actually controlling (from a human perspective) audio and MIDI, at least not for years. Reason, and other competing applications, are incredible, at least in my opinion as an amateur, performing musician. Thus, I think that the people who would get the most out of the FreeWRL ReWire code would be those who are actually into making or manipulating music, not your traditional X3D user base. That's a double edged sword; you may increase the potential X3D user base *many* fold, but you need to make the interfacing very human-interactive. I'm fortunate to have a couple of cognitive scientists that I work closely with - so hopefully we'll come up with something that will actually be useful for that demographic. I'm also fortunate to have the FreeWRL code to play with as I see fit. All fun stuff; Thanks; ----------------------------------------------------------- John A.
