...tours, but the degree of sophistication varies significantly. Northeastern simply offers a slide show of still photographs with explanatory text, while Duke allows users to position their cursors in a spot representing a location on campus and, using the arrow keys, see views from every direction. Other schools offer multimedia extravaganzas. The University of Miami has streaming video of classes in session, student testimonials and rousing orchestral background music...

...Talking Heads 'Gentle Will' isn't so gentle at all, as he shouts obscenities at a rather introspective-looking Saddam Hussein. Part of a multimedia show by Charlie Skelton that begins March 16 at London's Institute of Contemporary Arts, their conversation is brought to life by a new technology called FaceWave. The exhibit also features a discussion between Gwyneth Paltrow, Shakespeare, Wagner and Elvis about life after death. And the technology hopes to have life after the exhibit; developed by Britain's Anthropics Technology, FaceWave allows you to use your photo phone - on either 3G or regular networks...
