I am working at the Multi Media Lab of the University of Zuerich,
where we are in the process of developing a VR - System.

We are still reviewing various devices (such as HMD's, gloves etc),
but we would be interested in more products than just former VPL-stuff
and so on.

We are looking for input devices like wands, not only and exclusively
Reality Gloves, and since here in Switzerland there is not really a
lot going on in the field of VR, almost the only information we get is
through this newsgroup.

We work on several SG Workstations (we have even bought a Reality
Engine lately) and now we are looking for VR - specific devices.

If you have information on following topics, i would be glad if you
could send them to me.

Thanks a lot
