I figure this forum would be a great place for people to talk a bit about stuff they are working with or have seen used. Per usual, my VRNews links will be posted to my site http://vr.isdale.com a few weeks after I submit my article. I'll post notice here of its availablity. I'll also try and post some of the text I write in an accessible place. Some of the more novel stuff: Polaris.org/Mindtel's TNG a/d box and NeatTools data flow programmer hacked gamer devices (joysticks, pads, etc) muscle/brain activity sensors one hand keyboards (twiddler, bat) MIT's fabric keypads (smart fabric) PDAs see-thru tablets and of course the usual gloves/bend sensors 3d trackers joysticks (haptic and non-haptic) Thanks in advance! ============= Jerry Isdale, Technology Review Editor, VR News phone: 805 379 2667 1527 Wakefield Ave fax: 805 496 8547 Thousand Oaks, CA 91360 email: isdale@acm.org http://www.vrnews.com http://vr.isdale.com/techReview.html
