"Our singular experience with HMDs in the arcade video game environment has enabled us to design an inexpensive, high quality product with the same durability as the MRG2", explained Dave Collette, Director of Product Engineering. The MRG4 comes in two styles: a ruggedized arcade specific version, and a version for customers with less demanding environments. Priced at $2,199 US, the MRG4 incorporates Liquid Image optics and design features which have mad the MRG2 such a success in the entertainment market. This rugged, durable HMD weighs 2.5 pounds, will fit head sizes from child to adult, and has a horizontal FOV of 60 degrees. There is no IPD adjustment required. Hygiene and maintenance were prime considerations in the design of the MRG4, which uses a combination of nylon, reinforced fibers and steel in select locations to make that HMD "arcade hardened"! - 30 - ------- End of Forwarded Message
