Now HERE's a way to get cheap vr...  All you need is a pair of surveilance
cameras ($100, approximately - B/W), and a workstation which can competantly
maintain two windows...  Prototyping wouldn't even need the video hardware...

How about some kind of optical device like the old viewmaster to provide close-
up focusing so that one eye/one window could be done?
