3D Virtualization Edges Toward the Mainstream
Roland Piquepaille writes "With recent improvements in graphic cards and in powerful Linux-based PC clusters, virtual 3D prototypes are rapidly replacing actual physical prototypes in a wide range of industries, including early adopters such as aerospace or car companies. But now, software designers are also incorporating sound and tactile feedbacks to their Virtual Reality (VR) systems for real product development. In this long article, Desktop Engineering gives several examples of these new VR developments. But even if PC clusters and off-the-shelf graphic cards are cheap, a state-of-the-art VR facility such as an immersive CAVE can still cost more than one million dollars, because you need to build the viewing facility and buy expensive projection systems. However, costs are still decreasing and virtual prototyping is reaching the mainstream stage. This overview contains selected excepts and comments."
Please, people, let's not feed him. We've got enough whores 'round here already.

All but God can prove this sentence true.
Just look at the first 10 or so comments on this story. Slashdot readers clearly want him gone. Editors, LISTEN.
Only 1 of the first 8 posts didn't have something negative to say about Piquepaille.
Why is that? Slashdot editors, take notice.
