The "Virtual i-glasses! VPC" HMD from Virtual i-O takes either NTSC or VGA. Actually, the HMD takes NTSC, and the VPC model includes a VGA to NTSC converter for use with computers. Being from Virtual i-O, I think that the i-glasses! are far superior to the VFX1 in many many ways. Check our our website , and compare them. The VPC model now sells for $499. So you'd still have half of your $1,000 for other VR stuff. _______________________________________________________ Virtual i-O, 1000 Lenora Street #600, Seattle, WA 98121 Telephone: 800-646-3759 Faxback: 206-382-0570 Website: http://www.vio.com E-Mail: info@vio.com [MODERATOR'S NOTE: Commercial postings are offered on this newsgroup as a public service.
