I would also be very interested in this information.  I am writing my Ph.D. 
thesis in experimental high energy physics now and plan to graduate in about
1 1/2 - 2 years and am considering rtrying to get a job (postdoc or permanent) i
n
VR development.  Any information or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time.
