Virtual Reality on the CuBE

  I was reading a post in another newsgroup about Virtual Reality where
this person was saying "Do NOT buy a NeXT for VR" and it occured to ma
that the NeXT could become an ideal platform for VR.
  We already have the 3D kit, and experimenting with the Demo and Beta
coppies that I have managed to get a hold of leads me to believe trhat
it would be a simple matter to generate images from 2 viewpoints to make
a stereo pair.  
  My origonal thought was to use a mair of ND boards, one for each eye,
but then I thought someone could make a card for the cube that har 2 16
bit color outputs.  If the features are kept down then they could be
optimized for speed and still be reasonably priced.  
  You also get the capabilities for 2 color monitors with just 1 card.

  I guess I'll add this to my lists of neat things you could do with the
cube should NeXT keep it alive.  Sometimes I really wish I was a
hardware guy.
