Thesis Statement Expanded - Weekend Tasks

Splitting into groups two weeks ago was really helpful. It helped me expand on my thesis statements, what I'm trying to prove and disprove.

Thesis:

VoiceXML is a more intuitive interface to installations, architectural and data visualization than traditional point and click metaphors.

This just about covers the technial part. I have 8 weeks left to refine the content for this project, really, the heart of it.

This weekend, there are some pending issues in VIRTOOLS:

-Getting the (awesome) transition camera to well, transition, seamlessly on event handler.
-Figuring out IK handles in case I need them (this is part of the assignment for Scientific Visualization)
-Figuring out how to animate a MESH in VIRTOOLS (this is important if I'm going to do the Wizard-of-Oz head thing)
-Placing a taurus in a 3D grid and figuring out the Voice interface as to how to do this (it falls off of the page now till I tell it to go "up")
-Getting the web player to work with the VXML
