Subject: VR on Amigas: The Case of W Industries.

Some people have asked if there is any VR running on Amigas.

It is interesting to note that W Industries use Amiga computers to
drive their 3d displays in Virtuality.  Nowadays they use 34020
graphics boards inside the Amiga, but years ago they wanted to
license our 3d graphics system that runs on native Amigas as used on
StarGlider-2 the 3d space game (circa 1987/8).  That is perhaps the
first decent VR game with polygon graphics that we now all take for
granted, but in its day was one of the first.   Using the 3d graphics 
techniques we developed back then, and a fast Amiga computer, we can
have display rates and scenery similar to what VPL show on very
expensive Silicon Graphics computers.   For a fraction of the price.
