Please email to dragoncm@san.rr.com [Virtual i-O, the company that produced i-glasses no longer exists. Virtual Research will be distributing i-glasses and Ilixico will be producing them. http://www.ilixco.com/ http://www.virtualresearch.com ------------------------------ Data Sheet i-glasses are a lightweight Personal Display System that give a big-screen, full-color view while allowing you to retain your peripheral vision. They are 3-D and are compatible with televisions, VCRs, personal computers and all major gaming systems. There are currently two models--the VTV and the Protec. The VTV is ideal for patient distraction applications, while the VGA-resolution Protec is designed for high-end VR applications. Although similar in many ways to head-mounted displays (HMDs) currently on the market, i-glasses are superior because they allows the user to view full-color images and the peripheral environment simultaneously. In addition, at 8 ounces, i-glasses are much lighter than any HMD on the market and are compatible with prescription eyeglasses. The i-glasses VTV plug directly into just about any standard television, VCR, laserdisc, or electronic gaming system. The Protec plugs into a PC through the converter included in the set, all you need is a sound card for audio. No special video card or drivers are needed. -T.E.] --------------------------------------- To: Ted Smith Subject: INFO: dynovisor Date: Fri, 15 Aug 97 12:08:09 -0700 Where can I get a dynovisor?
