Virtual i-o and virtus were not helpful in telling us how the iglasses interface with the mac, even though virtus supports the i-glasses. This is how we think it's all going to work: the i-glasses support ntsc, so the av macs or conecting a scan converter to a nonAV mac, with a ntsc output, will certainly work. Also, though, we expect to be able to use a pin converter (since the i-glasses only take vga or svga, what ever it is) and connect the i-glassses through the monitor output. While there is no logical reason this last solution shouldn't work, we have not done it yet. You can email me in a couple weeks to find out what actually works. good luck, dennis ------------------------------------------------------------- > > I am trying to gather experiences from people who successfully > interfaced one the low cost HMDs (I am particularly interested in > Virtual i-O i-glasses!) to an Apple Macintosh. > > I am interested from the developer point of view. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Dennis C.
