  The HMD display is built from the viewfinders from two sony camcorders.
It was custom built by Joe Deardon, a contractor.  It is B/W.  The group
had a new HMD built by Bill Polhemus that it color.  It uses a fiber
optic transmition system.  It is a nice concept.  The fibers do cause a
"bricking" problem which is funky.
