It lives. "Gold Brick (tm) The Cyberspace Interface (tm)" to quote the flyer. I saw a demo at Arisia, a Boston-area science fiction convention. It accepts 3D or tilt inputs from the Broderbund UFORCE, Nintendo Power Pad (floor pad), Enteractive Roll&Rocker, and the Mattel Power Glove. They supply software to translate controller input into motion & keystrokes on the Apple Desktop Bus (MAC SE etc and Apple ][GS). They expect to provide RS232 and other interfaces eventually. They also provide an open interface for adding your own slave or master devices using standard hardware interfaces.
