In New Scientist, April 6 1991, there is an article on page 21 that describes a virtual reality games machine based on `a powerful version of a Commodore Amiga home computer'. Features include: 1. Stereoscopic full colour display. 2. Quadraphonic sound. 3. speech control. 4. Multi-player -- up to 25 people can share the same virtual reality. The company that is developing the machine is W Industries. It was launched in March at a price around 20 000 pounds sterling. Apparently, the Amiga is used for the sound generation, but two custom graphics processors produce the stereo imagery, one for each eye. -- Regards, - Peter Chubb
