Create a script to protect screens from walking through #44

Would like to be able to do something like

protectScreen{
  position = {0, 0, 0},
  width = 4,
  height = 3,
  normal = {0, 0, 1},
  proximity = .3,
  "VJHead",
  "VJWand"
}

to create a grid that would fade in at .3 meters away from the left wall of METaL. There's a paper that this is from, but I don't remember which it is - we should find it and cite it.

OK, so I found this referenced from:

Taylor, R. M., Jerald, J., VanderKnyff, C., Wendt, J., Borland, D., Marshburn, D., Sherman, W. R., et al. (2010). Lessons About Virtual Environment Software Systems From 20 Years of VE Building. Presence: Teleoperators & Virtual Environments, 19(2), 162–178. MIT Press. Retrieved from http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/abs/10.1162/pres.19.2.162

The reference was to the VRUI toolkit, whose homepage is here: http://idav.ucdavis.edu/~okreylos/ResDev/Vrui/index.html
