I am currently preparing for my senior year at Colby College (small 
liberal arts) in Waterville, Maine.  I will be doing an independent 
research project on different ways to represent the self in virtual 
worlds.  

My school has no virutal reality equipment/software, so the first part 
of my independent project is to acquire some.  Keeping in mind about a 
$1,500 budget...

1) What kind of equipment (glove, helmet, etc) would be 
necessary/desireable?

2) Does this equipment work on a Mac or SGI platform?  If not, which 
ones do?


Any help in answering these (or any other questions you can think of) 
would be greatly appreciated.  I would prefer responses by email, 
since I can not check this group regularly.

Thank you for you time.
