Here's an update page on what I'm currently doing. Its been a long time. What's New in Kevin's Garage.
Hi, my name is Kevin Mellott and I like to mess around with VR. I graduated with Honors from High Tech Institute, a trade school in Phoenix, AZ and currently have my Associate degree in Computer/Electronics, FCC GROL Certification, C.E.T. certification, Fiber Optic Certification, and my A+ Certification. I currently work for Agilent Technologies in Santa Rosa, CA and I'm attending UC Berkeley for Electrical Engineering.

| The VFX-1
Headset works great with any computer system with a ISA slot and a VESA compliant video card. With a Linkbox it has no video limitations. I have several
games that work great. The best games are definitely Quake in 3D and QuakeII. You can also give it an optics upgrade which greatly improves the visual performance. Here is my Personal Review. I also have lots of information that will help to build a complete VFX1 Linkbox including video and tracking.
The Virtual I/O Glasses work well too. The ease of use and clarity are great for any homebrewer. They are more of a Plug and Play system, more suitable for the less experienced. Read the review on this HMD.

The I-glasses SVGA 2D are one of the best consumer headsets available on the market today. They offer 800 x 600 resolution with a decent price tag. I would recommend this HMD to any VR consumer. Here is my Review . |

The Philips Scuba Visor is a low end headset with low resolution and blurry optics. It is a video only headset but has a higher FOV than most other low end HMD's. Here is my Review . |
|
The CyberMaxx Headset is another low end VR Helmet. It was made by VictorMaxx, a company that no longer exsists. Check out my Review. There is also an excellent review on the Cybermaxx at Stereo3D.com. |

The P5 data glove is a new addition to the virtual reality hardware list. It is a nice choice for any VR hobbiest collection at the price of about $30.00 on Ebay. Check out my review on the P5 here. |
|
The Power Glove from Nintendo is an excellent low end Virtual reality device. It can be used to take movements from your hand and place them on the screen. You can grab and manipulate virtual objects. I can modify Power Gloves for the PC, just send an email. |

The Intertrax tracker is a nice tracker if you can get it cheaply. It will provide you with 3DOF tracking for your games and applications. Here's my review on it. |
