Update: Some of you did not see the demo the way it's shown in the screen shot. This is because in my wisdom to get it up fast I embedded the font instead of loading it for run-time sharing. So if you did not have the font installed, you did not see the demo the way it's shown in the screen shot. But I fixed it and it should work now. Source is also updated with the fix.
To expand on my previous post, in a 3D space the possibility for manipulation is even greater. I whipped up an example using FIVe3D this time while playing around. The clock refreshes every 5 seconds to allow animation to complete. And by choosing a pixel font with no round edges it allows the text to display closer in looks to its original source and no longer pixelated.
