Trina, could you please forward this to the info-performer list? Thanks.

Nicolas and other interested:
Here's a list of the companies that produce headmounted displays (or
boom-mounted, in Fakespace's case), in varying resolution and price ranges, for
Silicon Graphics Onyx and Indigo2 systems:

Fakespace Labs
415-688-1940
fakespc++at++well.com
http://www.fakespace.com

Kaiser Electro-Optics
head-mounted displays
619-438-9255

nVision
703-506-8808
contact Chris Lewis, clewis++at++cais.cais.com

Virtual Research
408-748-8712
virtualres++at++aol.com
http://www.infolane.com/v-research

A few people, including Acorn Pooley (acorn++at++engr) have worked out how to drive
the low-cost, head-tracked Virtual I-O i-glasses with an Indy, but it takes
some code-tweaking.

Hope this helps,
