I have become involved in a state-wide to-do called Michigan Fest this
year.  For the first time, we are putting on a "technology booth" that
is to contain various computer activities for children ages 3 to 16.
Since I have an interest in Virtual Reality, I have volunteered to try
to put together a station that uses VR.  I am primarily interested in
two things:

1. A video-tape (or tapes) on Virtual Reality that I can run in the
background for people to watch (parents, kids waiting their turn,
passers- by, etc) that can run in the background.  I know I've seen
some PBS shows on VR and there may be some other private productions
out there that I don't know about.  I just need to know how to get
hold of them.

2. Any VR software (either a Demo that can run, or an actual program
that one could interact with) that you may have or know of that we
could use (either PC, 386 or above, or Mac software - we'll have both
types of machines).

3. Any additional ideas you might have that would be useful.

I do believe we have _some_ monies available to purchase, but donated
software/tapes, etc (that would be returned) would be the best, as
this is a volunteer endeavor (hint, hint - this could be a great way
to test something new!)
