I am using Windows95 and Netscape 2.0 beta 4. Where can I get the VR
software for the systems? Please tell me some interesting VR sites.

      Hi,

I am looking for the plans on how to hook up the NES Power Glove to a
PC or how to make VR equipment out of things you can buy at radio
shack.  If you have any information pleas contact me.  Thanks.

Does anyone have any experience with or own the Virtual i/O glasses or
Forte's Vfx1?  I am interested in purchasing an HMD and would like to
know the pros and cons.  Also what software do you use.  I just
generally want to know about people setups.  Like PC, video cards and
all the stuff that you are using.  Thanks.
