Well, we could always play inside small tents, and peep our heads out to see the audience when we're not looking at our computer screens or foot controllers. :) Seriously, though, that Hoodman contraption you sent in the URL is great. Before I saw that, I was thinking that someone needs to invent the "Laptop Bonnet"....similar to when I take my 16 month old twins for a walk in the morning with their double-wide stroller...they have these bonnets that roll over them to block the sun. Their car seats have them too. And I think the Hoodman might even be a bit extreme..just to top and sides may suffice, just like a stroller bonnet. I was thinking, what is the viser technology like these days for viewing computer screen? I recall seeing some viser glasses you could where that would take the place of your computer monitor....that would be really futuristic.
