Hello from New Zealand....

It appears that by reading the articles within this news group I am asking
an age-old question, but here it goes anyway....

We are at present setting up a Laboratory for Visual Perception. We
have at present an image generator capable of producing real time
flight simulation.

We would like to move into the area of Virtual Reality, and so I am
asking any of the people out there what if any systems they are
running, and the suppliers.

Our present Hardware platform is a 386/33 MHz with an AP4000 geometry
engine and PG 2000 viewing graphics display board (both made by
XTAR). We would like to move to a stereo display - without the
obvious expense of another AP4000/PG2000 for the other display.

So if any of you out there have any neat and nifty ideas about how we
can get a stereo display from the one geometry engine/ display board
then I would appreciate a reply of some sort...

Well thanks for your time

Warren King.
