Yeah!  I've seen it!  It was at a really lame VR/Cyberpunk/InfoBahn/Art
thingy an ex-friend of mine hosted at a Chicago nightclub.  Maybe you
remember it: it was called Cyberfest, and he spammed every concievable
newsgroup with adverts for what turned out to be exceedingly lame.

Anyway, I saw the microscope thingy you described, but it was running a
really hokey "float in 3D and find the stick person" demo.  Really lost a
lot, but the potential is there.  Now if they would market it along with
a cervical collar to avoid the terrible neck pains which seemed
unavoidable, you've got a money-printing machine!
