Absolutely yes.  Don't forget to connect the synchronization source from
the "box" to IDesk though.  Also, navigation in the scene will be somewhat
different (by mouse,  not by wand) and, more important,  a  notion of
"driver"  --a person to whom the IDesk location+orientation sensor is
attached and for whom the perspective  is defined in applications like
CAVE5D-- is not applicable anymore.  In short,  IDesk becomes a big
stereo screen, which is very suitable for many situations.
