Subject:  INFO?: about HMD's

Does anyone have any info about the HMD made by Virtual Research in
Texas?  Would this be a good substitute for the VPL Eyephone?

I also heard about some glasses that are made by Sony for their Sony
Watchman.  I think they are capable of a stereo view?  Does anyone
know about this?

Does anyone know about any other HMD or glasses type device that could
provide an immersive experience in a virtual environment?  We are
looking to buy something, but now that VPL is gone (or at least
seriously hurting) we don't know for sure what to buy.  We have a
BOOM, but we prefer the "feel" of a head-mounted display for
architectural worlds.  We have a VPL Eyephone system that doesn't seem
to work very well.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
