Now THIS is Powerpointing!

Here's a little something I found on New Scientist's tech blog. For the benefit of those who can't be fuct to click the links and read, Colin Price of the U of Worcester (pronouned Woos-ter, for those uncultured barbarians out there*) put Powerpoint and Unreal Tournament together to get Unreal Tournament to display PP slides in its 3d environments. Man, what I wouldn't give to do an entire university course like this!

Just imagine! While camping in your happy little nook with your frickin' huge sniper rifle, you could be perusing the walls and teaching yourself quantum electrodynamics! Or using the Unreal engine to simulate physics far beyond those crummy, though well-intended scrawlings of your lecturer! Ah, the possibilities...

*I forsee that I will regret those words...
