          The Dutch makers of this were just on the television over here. They told how they did a demo of this technique at McCartney's home, in his kitchen. McCartney was so excited that he invited them to record a song during his gig at Candlestick Park the day after. Two cameras, two camera men. While arriving at the venue, there was no one who had a pass for them, no tickets, no guest lists. After an hour of calling and talking, they were let in after all, and upon meeting with McCartney again, he immediately was excited again, and pointed them towards the piano, which would be the best spot for 'Live And Let Die', right next to him.

                  I remember them trying to set up their equipment before the show started, and wondering who they were, because they were trying to put the camera on the corner of the rising platform, where Paul would most certainly have had to walk around it during that part of the concert. Not to mention it was huge and was blocking some people's view. Eventually, someone from Paul's crew got them to move it off the platform.

                    During the show, I wondered what those weird looking robotic devices were -- now I know. I should be able to see myself in the crowd shot, but unfortunately the large lady in front of me, holding up her hands/taking pictures the entire song, pretty much blocked me out. Luckily with the off center angle, she didn't block me from clearly seeing Paul

                      I downloaded the app on my cell phone, and just now tried it. It shows 2 side-by-side videos (identical) and it barely started the song and then just kept buffering! Now it's playing, but why are there 2 identical small videos? It keeps stopping & buffering.

                        Thanks for the heads up! When I tried it was Android-only. I don't have the goggles, but fun to see on the screen nonetheless.

                          (1) It is large. (2) The two videos are not identical. They are perspective for the left and right eye. When you are wearing goggles it fools your brain so you see depth. (3) The mac/windows version displays the image on the screen and allows the user to maneuver through the space with the keyboard.
