FORTE TECHNOLOGIES LICENSES PATENTED TRACKING TECHNOLOGY TO VICTORMAXX

VictorMaxx is Granted Permission to Use FORTE's Patented Head-Tracking
Technology in Its Products

(ROCHESTER, NY)-FORTE Technologies, Inc., an industry leader in the
development of interactive virtual reality (VR) products, today announced
it has granted VictorMaxx Technologies, Inc. a license to use FORTE's
patented head-tracking technology in its virtual reality products. FORTE
granted the license in conjunction with a settlement between the two
companies.

In July 1995, FORTE Technologies filed suit against VictorMaxx Technologies
claiming the head-tracking device used in VictorMaxx's CyberMaxx(tm)
head-mounted display infringed on FORTE Technologies' patent. Under the
settlement, FORTE has granted VictorMaxx a license to use its
head-tracking technology in manufacturing the CyberMaxx 2.0 head mounted
display.

"By licensing our head-tracking technology to VictorMaxx, we hope to
further the VR industry through the development of quality VR products,"
said Paul Travers, president and CEO of FORTE Technologies.

FORTE Technologies has been revolutionary in its strides to help develop
the virtual reality market. The company has built a strong foundation with
plans for a long line of stand- alone and networkable VR products. The
VFX1 HEADGEAR Virtual Reality System and CyberPuck VR Game Controller are
the first in a line of virtual reality peripherals designed by FORTE using
the patented tracking technology.

"FORTE has developed the tracking and the virtual reality technology that
is setting the standards for the industry," added Travers. "This
technology is merely the foundation for the development and implementation
of new VR peripherals. We have agreed to license our tracking technology
to VictorMaxx as a way to help the VR market grow, and now that the credit
has been given its proper place, we can focus on creating a strong
marketplace where the consumer and retailer feel comfortable about VR."

FORTE Technologies is a market leader in the development of interactive
virtual reality technology. The product line includes the VFX1 HEADGEAR
Virtual Reality System and the CyberPuck Virtual Reality Game Controller.
FORTE Technologies' products are available directly from the company as
well as through Ingram Micro, American Software & Hardware, Tiger
Software, Incredible Universe, PC Mall and other selected distributors and
retailers. FORTE is a voting member on the USB, ACCESS.bus and VESA
committees.
