Agreed. That was my only annoyance after the upgrade from 6.06 to 6.10 so far. Even things like pushd/popd don't work in dash.
Changing the default shell to something which does less is a huge modification. When running a dist upgrade, this issue should have been presented to the user with the possibility to opt-out and keep the old default shell.
Besides that I had a very smooth transition from 6.06 to 6.10. Note that I had my software RAID grub boot item outside of the DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST. That saved it from being touched by the upgrade process. Phew.
My current work project deals with real-time presentation of a 360 degree video feed. We used the Ladybug camera to record 30min of footage in a contemporary glass studio. The video feed is later projected inside a hemisphere. You use a trackball to change your viewing direction at a rock solid 60Hz update rate.
Note that having a good 3D sound system is essential for this type of installation. Since you only see half of the world, a full 3D sound field can give you important clues about things which happen behind you.
Similar research was already conducted in 1999 by Larry Hodges. Here's an overview. And for a relaxed Sunday afternoon read: check out the related research paper (PDF).
I saw Larry and fellow Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy researchers at a talk in 2000. Larry showed a video of a Vietnam Vet suffering from PTSD who was exposed to a virtual Vietnam war scenario. Within a short time the Vet totally forgot that he was in a simulation and started to yell out to his virtual comrades, trying to warn them of an imminent attack. Watching this video was both fascinating and appalling at the same time. On the one hand I was proud to see how far VR research has come. On the other hand I realized how horrible the Nam war experience must really have been for the Vet.

We'll show this starting October 6 at the Sydney Powerhouse Museum (Australia). Enjoy.
