Model Shmodel - Who needs glue?

I'm always on the look out for cool tools for Architecture. This morning on Twitter, Alan Rapp posted a link to this video about Holographic Imagery for Architectural Presentations. The product is from Zebra Imaging and it is SWEET. What an impressive technique for representing ideas in 3D space in presentations to clients.

Will this change the needs for physical models?

How do the costs compare?

What will interns do for architects, if they can't get their fingers stuck together in high strength glue?

What are your thought? I'm curious.

A New Addition

My son joined this world on 3/4/2010 @ 2:20pm @ 7lbs 2oz, 21" tall with a head of dark hair.

His journey was a topsy turvy one, filled with flips and kicks, so much so he even managed to tie a little knot around his umbilical cord. If it hadn't been for close monitoring of his mother, we may have been less fortunate.

He's considered to be a "last minute" preemie baby, since he was born just a day before 37 weeks.
