Darren Bett showed the NW Atlantic way beyond the confines of the

How do they indicate speed? The web uses different sized arrows but
that won't work in the 3d view will it...


The arrows were animated - they moved! It looked like a first attempt
to do it, to me - only partially successful. I'm sure they'll try
again though and it makes me wonder what other things they can do with
the new system - probably more than we think, when they've learned all
the ins and outs of it. We can but live in hope.
