Graphics Card Blues

None of the four computers I have access to supports geometry shaders, OpenCL or CUDA. Hopefully, I can get some nice graphics card and a few camera sensors soon, so I can start doing exciting work!  Our lab at school has a room with controlled-lighting and several fancy camera setups that is perfect for computer vision research. I've spent the last two months getting caught up on theory and am eager to try out what I've learned.
