- Hi... I'm new here and I'd like to ask a few questions, but first my
- name is James and I'm from Lynnwood, Washington.
-
- I've been trying to get involved in VR technologies for the past year
- or two although it's not a new science I have just become aware of
- it's existance about 2 years ago. At current I haven't even
- experienced a virtual-world in the sense of a computer generated 3-D
- stereoscopic virtual-world. I would very much like to but this seems
- out of my grasp. If anyone out there in the greater Seattle area
- would be willing to help a freshman college student get involved with
- VR technologies it would be greatly appreciated and would create an
- incredible impact on this students life!!! If you would like to help
- me in my quest for knowledge I will certainly repay you for your
- efforts, maybe not in the near future but I will repay!
-
- I have one other question: I have access to several PowerGloves here
- in Lynnwood, but I'm wary of buying one because I don't at the present
- have the knowledge of connecting one up to my 386, nor do I have the
- software to drive it! Does anyone here suggest getting a PowerGlove,
- it's only $29.95 here and that's not too much?
-
- Has anyone read the book entitled CyberSpace by Michael Benedikt? If
- so what are your reviews?
-
- Again thanks to any replies that I may or may not get here on
- sci.virtual-worlds. I appreciate any help.... thank you. James
