I came across an interesting and fairly lengthy (17 pages) thesis on legal issues surrounding virtual reality technology. It has some good information about various virtual reality applications and their possibilities and problems. Although I found no date, one reference is from May-June 1997, so this paper must be fairly recent.

I haven't read all of it, but of specific interest to n-Visioners is a statement on printed page 3, under a section titled "The Comercial Environment for VR Technology." It states: "A number of smaller companies are manufacturing HMDs for VR applications. Some of the leading products are: i-glasses from Virtual-i/o; Datavisor by nVision, and the Model 133 from Virtual Reality Inc." Note the words "leading products" and "Datavisor by nVision." To me it represents third party acknowledgement that they have a good product.

Of more importance is a paragraph on printed page 5 that reads as follows: "The perceived legal liability exposure presented by short term exposure to VR environments is apparently not worrisome enough to discourage investment in amusement park VR rides. Electronic entertainment giant Sega will be building fifty VR theme parks over the next several years positioning itself to compete with Walt Disney World style parks."
It goes on to state "the draw of being able to create a major virtual theme park in only 3% of the land area of traditional parks is too attractive to pass up. VR parks also have the advantage of very low cost, approximately $40 million, and can be continuously updated with new software to create a novel ride experience."

If Sega plans to build fifty VR theme parks to compete with Walt, how many is WD planning to eventually build? And how many Viewports would n-Vision produce?

You'll find the referenced thesis at: suffolk.edu
