P.S. In case it sounds like I'm whining for more ... I want you all to know I love the cRIO. It's a wonderful system, and I can't wait to get my software teams hands on it.
If you've seen the virtual walkthrough's realtors often put on websites, then you've seen the results that a good camera with a good exposure can produce. They are often produced with this sort of setup on a tripod. Then processed into an interactive cylinder.

LV realtime currently supports two processor architectures, x86 and PPC. LV supports other desktop varieties, though not officially anymore. And then there are the embedded tools which actually compile to C, which is then sent through other tools to target processors such as the ARM. So technically LV can target the ARM, but the dev cycle isn't quite the same as RT.

Whining on a wish list, ... I think that is what it is hear for.
