(Here's a mini-review of Mandala at World of Amiga)

	Mandala is now available as a separate software package
for the Amiga at a price of $495. What is Mandala? It, combined
with an Amiga and a Live! board will allow you to:
1) Aim the camera at a person
2) It will take an image of the person and put it into the
computer. It then appears as an image in the monitor that can
interact with everything going on in the screen.

	You become a part of the action. As you move your arms
you can play an instrument or "EAT-A-BUG".
	It's credits include Popular Science's "BEST OF WHAT'S
NEW 1990" award, use on TV game shows, and placement in many
musems including the SMithsonian.
	It comes with its own authoring software designed for it.
For info on finding the Live board call MicroPace at (217)
356-1884 and for info on Mandala itself call (416) 340-9290.
Also, if you are interested in being a Mandala developer you can
