Hi Michael,
I think you may want to take a look at openGL for mobile devices. I found
this which should give a quick overview:
http://people.csail.mit.edu/kapu/siggraph_course/ I saw a demo of Khronos (I
think) on a handheld device back at GDC 2004. It looked pretty cool.

I work full time and go to school full time so I can't really commit to much
here but I VJ and make electronic music and I think Papervision has promise.

Well, a good start would be to use anaglyphic mode first (less rendering and
