AmiVR is a video interface, not a joystick Amiga interface. StereoPro is almost indistinguishable hardware-wise from XSpecs by Haitex, and it is priced lower than AmiVR and is (like XSpecs) tied to the Amiga joystick port. AmiVR is a separate product. What does it mean to 'use XSpecs with AmiVR' – sounds redundant to me. They both do the same thing (on an Amiga), but yes, they'd both work simultaneously if you wanted to do that. They are connected differently so they don't interfere with one another. AmiVR requires no software drivers at all. StereoPro and XSpecs need some little program (sometimes part of the a special IFF viewer in the case of XSPecs) to cause the glasses to oscillate. Ours is a bit different as once you set our glasses oscillating with the supplied program you can simply view our images with any IFF viewer and they are recordable to tape to view with AmiVR (which can connect to an Amiga video output or a VCR output – and drive the glasses directly in either case). VistaPro 3.0's stereo features work exactly correctly – you makea left eye view and a right eye view and their 'merge' capability interleaves them so the result is a single IFF which looks very flickery without the glasses on and oscillating. If you leave an address I'll send product info on both systems.
