Dear Virtual Ones,

Hello.  I'm a graduate student at Texas A&M University doing 
research in Virtual Reality.  I'm very interested in this subject but 
our department has no Virtual Reality systems and I'm finding it 
difficult to focus my studies.  As a part of my Masters project I'm 
trying to put together a VR system.  Unfortunately, I've never been 
in a real-virtual environment and have no idea of how it feels.

I'm going to be visiting California in the middle of this month and 
will be there for some time.  I was wondering if anyone knows of a 
VR system that's open to the public in the L.A. or the Bay area.  Also, 
do companies like VPL and Sense8 encourage visits from interested 
folks?  If so, whom do I need to contact in order to arrange such a 
visit?

Thanks in advance.

Regards
