                    AA3D - ASCII art stereogram generator

                       "New dimension for ASCII art"

AA-project releases so called technology demo for it's new 3d stereogram
technology (ASCII-3D-2000). It uses well known and popular random dot
stereograms in ASCII ART (try to see above example). This technology will
be soon included into mainstream AA-lib release (planned for new AA-lib 99). 
Code is complettely year 2000 compliant now and unicode support is comming soon!
Separate teams are working at hardware acceleration chips to be released before
year 2000.

Three goals of AA-Project:

  1. Port all important software (like Doom, Second Reality, X windows
     etc..) on AA-lib.

  2. Port AA-lib on all available platforms (mainly ZX-Spectrum and
     Sharp).

  3. Force IBM to start manufacturing MDA cards again.

   AA-project was started by Jan Hubicka. In that times just a few
people knew about it. Then a new demo named BB has been relased to show
the power of AA-lib technology. Now the project is freely available and
anyone can help.
