Can I ask - how does the UI send off a cmd to the onboard controller to load up the item?  Should I even ask this question (i.e. do you want it shared?)?</blockquote><div><br></div><div>I think I can spill the beans on that secret technology — there&#39;s a computer-human-computer interface involved, where a child is placed in the machine and instructed to read an identifier from the tablet screen and enter it into the number pad visible on the outside of the device.</div>

I wonder whether there&#39;s some way to optimize it (for example, by offloading stuff to the GPU by using 3D transforms).</div>
