The VFX1 is Forte's virtual reality head-tracker and movement control system. The helmet is a reasonably light, heavily padded piece of equipment which houses stereo headphones and the viewing goggles. The goggles focus individually and can be adjusted to fit whomever wears the helmet. The helmet fit fairly snugly and tracked head movement quite accurately, although the bridge of my nose did get a little banged up when I turned my head sharply. Controlling your on-screen actions is done with the cyberpuck, a three-button flying mouse shaped like a hockey puck. The price for the unit is $1000, which is a fraction of the cost of most other VR systems at the show, making the VFX1 the only helmet likely to be used primarily for games. With product support for Origin's System Shock, Flight Unlimited by Looking Glass, and plans for a fully stereoscopic version of Doom, it looks to be a very interesting fall for Forte.
