Well, in a nice way that is. Jeff Minter of LlamaSoft has created a piece of software he calls 'Neon'. Neon is a visualization tool that will allow user to interact and tweak the on screen visualizations in real-time. Users can also hook their ipods or other music devices to drive and direct the program's actions.Typically in the kind of work I'll be doing, you want a lot of computational power available for generating effects and meshes procedurally in real-time, and the X360 delivers a lot of grunt in that area," Minter told The Guardian on the power of the new hardware. "We were working with the alpha hardware and still managed to achieve staggering performance with just that, and the alpha kits probably operate at only about 30 per cent of the capacity of the final hardware. I'm really looking forward to doing more on final hardware and really pushing the thing as hard as we can.
