This sounds like a very simple problem, but one runs into some problems when
implementing it.  We have submitted a paper abstract to IPT2000 which talks
about some of these issues in converting and interacting with general 2d
applications to a 3d immersive environment.  Attached are the references for
the paper.

Hope this helps,

Jason
