Please don't reply to this account as I'm borrowing it.  Please send mail

Myself and two other people have started a company called Pacific Neo-Tek.
Our hope is to build systems for virtual reality.  I'm laying out schematics
for the system right now (in fact I'm taking a break from it to send this
message).  I wanted to get some input from others.  What do you want to
see in the next generation of virtual reality systems?  Please send me a
wish list or whatever other advice you think is important.  I really
want to try to get the best idea now of what people will want (though it
isn't possible to know completely) because I don't want to be changing
my design later when it will be more difficult, simply because of an extreme
lack of foresight.  Please don't bother to include things like "neural
interface" on your wish list unless you plan to tell me how to accomplish
this as well.  I don't mind if things on the list are a few years ahead of
our current technology, but keep in mind that I want to try to integrate
most of these things into a system being designed now (but planning for
compatiblity with future systems is important too).

Thanks in advance...
