They are used by european TV corporation Le Studio Canal + for graphics super effects and real-time picture processing. I would aprecciate if someone could send some general technical featuresof these machines. Wojciech A.

I would like to setup my own VR system in my home...my resources are limited (money)... so I was looking to buy a pair of LCD shutter glasses and some sort of glove for interface... I read somewhere where the PowerGlove released by Mattel (for Nintendo)... can be modified for PC use.. so I was wondering if there are skimatics for the modifications... if so someone please email me.. Also, I've noticed the differences in opinions... of the different shutter glasses. So far it seem's the best (cheapest)... mentioned have been The VFX1's the i-glasses, and CyberMaxx's... I would like to know your opinion on the best pair to buy and where to buy them. Right now I am considering the CyberMaxx's because they seem decent and fairly inexpensive. Thanks a lot...l8er...

Date: 28 Jun 1995 02:46:02 GMT Organization: KORNET (Korea Telecom) I'm a VR enthusiast who want to buy a reliable, low-cost HMD and related stuffs. However, there's no company deals with low-cost HMD's in South Korea. Yeah, I'm in Seoul, South Korea. I need your help you net tribes. I just got an article on VR World with CYBERMAXX review. There was only VictorMaxx's telephone number. I want to have you let me know fax numbers of any CYBERMAXX dealers in US. Of course, they should be willing to do ship me the cool pro- duct via air mail service. Just let me know! Thank you very much for your friendly responses in advance.
