I have been developing instructional web sites for our
department which include video, sound and VR. Getting a
plugin to view these pages has not been something we have
accomplished in the GA labs outside of Biology.

Quicktime 3.1 is supposedly available for both PC and Mac
now. I would like to see that plugin available as well as
it will provide HTML streaming video and audio as well as
VR.

Yes I too would like to know the procedure for requesting
plugins for the GA labs. As for sound. I think speakers
would be terrible in GA labs but headphones are cheap (or
have students bring in their own - better hygiene) and would
solve that problem.

Well, won't the machines have to have sound cards and
speakers to
make any effective use of these? Are any of the student
machines so
equipped?
