Date: 21 Jun 1995 00:05:25 GMT Organization: Connect! On-Line I have seen many messages asking where to get 3D Shutter glasses and Power Gloves. The sources listed below are NOT REFURBISHED old gear, but are NEW manufactured items. The Sega Type Shutter Glasses work great, as good as any of the more expensive brands. The Power Glove works very well with VR386, REND386, ect.... I think these items are the only alternative to us VR enthusiast who are on a budget. I don't have $500 or more to buy a HMD (Head Mounted Display). And I don't have hundreds (or a thousand) dollars to but a Data Glove. If your looking for fun, reliable, and cheap gear then here it is! It's at least a good introduction to VR gear. BTW, I've noticed more and more games (like Descent) are offering HMD and Shutter Glasses support. But none so far ( that I've found) support the Sega type shutter Glasses. I know there are lots of Sega Type Shutter Glasses out there! So, take them out of your closet (or buy one if you don't have one) and write E-Mail to all the game and program companies who do support VR gear. Long Live Cheap VR !!!
