We do firewire and other video capture, showing it in Xvideo extension
windows in our apps. A totally useless but neat thing is rotating the
cube and seeing the images 'from behind'. The mind expects to see what
is behind the thing in the image. If only... But it is amazing that
there is so little apparent impact on the CPU and application when this
is happening. Nice to see more of the hardware features used.
