Xerox PARC Magic Lenses -- Parallel? Equivalent? Value Lessons?

I had heard a week or so ago about a "Lense" technique developed at Xerox PARC
which led me to veer away from calling our early OHS prototype a "Hyper Lens."
(I'm moving now to calling it a Hyper Scope, or TScope, ..).

Mentioned this to Sheldon, who knew something about PARC's work and sent me the
following URLs.

   94CHIFilters:

   LenseTaxonomy:

   93Siggraph:
   <http://www.parc.xerox.com/istl/projects/MagicLenses/93Siggraph.html>

I'd be interested in assessments by some of you with different
knowledge/experience backgrounds than I have, as to how their Lense approach
can educate us, or compete -- or possibly they've gotten there first?

Doug
