Here's a new thread. Imagine that I am a venture capitalist. I have money to invest and I am already convinced that VR is the next big thing. I'm looking to you to tell me what application, what domain area, what product you're going after. Let's concede the home game entertainment market to the Mattels and the Nintendos. What other good can I put my money into? --Alan -- --Alan Wexelblat internet: wex@pws.bull.com Bull HN Information Systems Usenet: spdcc.com!know!wex phone: (508) 671-7485 Adapt, adopt, improvise!

If I had the money and the time, I (with help) could ship a 'Nintendo' version of a scaled-down VR in 18-24 months. VR for the common man by '95! (Of course, if you don't know about me already: I don't believe that EyePhones and DataGloves/DataSuits are anything other than alternate input devices and as such, completely optional.)
