MetaVR capitalizes upon the revolution in 3D graphics accelerators by providing a Microsoft Direct 3D enabled visualization system that runs on the 3Dfx Voodoo chipset based Orchid Technology Righteous 3D or the 3Dfx Interactive's Obsidian graphics accelerators. The MetaVR VRSG system provides sustained 30 frames per second DIS virtual world viewing on a WinTel P6/200 using the SpaceTec SpaceOrb 360 for user virtual world navigation. In the vernacular of the simulation and modeling industry - "MetaVR has created a true PC Stealth". MetaVR used the Nintendo 64 game player as the model for their VRSG system design in the spirit of making simulation accessible to a wider community not only in price but usability. MetaVR is a virtual company and can be found at http://www.metavr.com "W. Garth Smith" [MODERATOR'S NOTE: Commercial postings are offered on this newsgroup as a public service.
