Check out http://www.virtuality.com We have implemented several VR
applications for clients.  The best example of which is probably the
Kawasaki Motorbike simulator.  There is a new law in Japan requiring
riders to take simulator training before they can pass their test.
The beauty of this system is that without the HMD you could never do a
good m/c simulator.  If you are a rider you know that being aware of
your surroundings, looking over your shoulder before overtaking, etc
is critical to your continued survival!  Immersion is everything.

Paul.
