For those who may be interested
This is an interesting multi-touch capable screen demo. Great for
gestures, etc. Also would be interesting to see how such an idea could
be utilized in Croquet.

Another cool thing that could be utilized as Croquet input is the
SpacePad. There are a few other things in the market but this seems to
be a reasonable system for experimentation. I am currently assisting a
project where motion capture is a big part so have been looking into
many mo-cap systems. Most of them are prohibitively expensive. This is
not a mo-cap system but can be used as a VR input system.

Also an interesting group of 3D dwellers are growing in a virtual
environment called second life. I am sure Croquet guys are aware but
just in case anyone is missing it is an environment worth checking out.
