anyone know someone who has a friend... etc. who could get the schematic of
a sega VR helmet or a vectermaxx helm. I have an idea, and if it works than
plans could be made to build a HMD for about 100-150 $ (hopefuly it will
work, it does in theory :) )

Are there any WWW/FAQs/lists that discuss this topic? Especially interested
in companies with "real" products that I can obtain for myself as apposed to
experimental or beta products.
