I was just thinking about the new vision phones that
are (again) being marketed by AT&T (et al).  The vision portion is just 
bits and bytes so you could tailor what someone sees when they call you
by using a good graphics package, and a lotg of tinkerin 
around and you could be anyone you wanted to be (just like on a MUD but
with pictures).  I may not be articulating this very well.  For some
interesting ideas you could read John M. Ford's _Web of Angles_. 

Maybe I should take some time and and work on the idea off line (if it hasn't
already been covered before (between all the chat about some of the new 
arcade games -- which I really mean to try when I get a chance.)

Feedback?
