The Woggles are interactive, autonomous, emotional creatures that live
in a virtual world. The world is a full-color Dr. Seuss-like world.
The animation is real-time. There's an additional woggle which you can
control with the mouse, and the woggles can sense the external world
with sonar senses.  (I think the sonar is disabled in the Boston
demo.) Kids love them.

If you want to see what they look like, we had some full-color
postcards printed up. If you send me $1.75 and your US postal address,
I'll mail you back four of the postcards.
