There is a startup called Ono-Sendai (yes, named after the fictional
company in William Gibson's "Neuromancer") that has announced that
they're working on a consumer VR system to ship in the next year or so.
It should cost under $1000 and will include the helmet, position sensors,
and some kind of hand-position stuff too.
I don't have their number or net address handy, but they're based in San
Francisco so try calling directory assistance for (415)...
