I posted this information last month, however it bears repeating. There is a mailing list: Homebrew-vr Non-commercial list server for those interested in "low-cost" virtual reality devices. To join, send e-mail: with subject of "subscribe." There are also a number of excellent books to help you get started. Hollands, R. (1996). The Virtual Reality Homebrewer's Handbook.
