  There used to be a wonderful VR equipment overview at
enuxsa.eas.asu.edu/~rutledge but the guy graduated and his account has
been cancelled maybe he is receiving this list or anyone of you "VR
pals" knows place in WWW where I could find info on HMDs, Gloves,
Flocks of Birds etc. with descritions and prices.

Big thanks in advance,

                                        Bartek.

Has anybody heard of a project from Sun Microsystems called 'virtual portal'?
Couldn't find anything on the web.
Any information is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I am a student and is currently involved in a research study on
finding out information on some possible or feasible 
Usage of Virtual Reality on the Internet.....
I strongly believe that there are, out there 
idividuals that are very well versed in this particular
field........
