Well, It has been two weeks since I stopped production, but in two weeks
or
less we will know whether we can go or not.  So, at least the wait has an
end.

I will be on vacation from 8-2 tgo 8-9, so please ask all questions before
then. FYI, I will be in Florida at EPCOT, so if anyone has a number I can 
access the network from, I would appreciate it.

I leave campus on the 14th, but assuming we get a go ahead, then I will

send the board film prepaid to the manufacturer and have him  ship to the
board stuffer.  All that will take one month, so that will put the unit out (
keep fingers crossed) on the verge of September, so take heart.

Not much happening here, but I have been in contact with 3D-TV and Martin
Simon, who are looking at glasses.  Will post goodies as I get them.  I
have asked for an extension on the PCVR article, so It will be out in October
if the unit actually gets going.  

I have been working on other projects (that I neglected early on), so I 
apologize for the delay in mail responses and postings.  I will try to be
a better mail person hence forth.  I have found numerous other uses for my
unit in my other projects, so I see this thing as a multipurpose device.

Have only received a few responses about more frame rate beyond 30.  Does
most think this is OK?

Well, gotta go for now, but keep me informed.  I would like to compile a
list of what everyone will be using the PGSI for, as well as responses from
those who use a parllel glove interface now, what are you doing with it?

When the school year returns, I will be turning this post over to Ben Gross, 
who is much more talented in the VR arena than I.  He will keep you informed of
all the stuff that happens.   Give him a grand welcome when he arrives.
