After an hour OR SO? What? You want to live in the thing? <bg> Seriously, Division's latest HMD is quite good for a true stereo unit. If extended time is what you seek, a mono unit such as the Liquid Image does very well. Either way, proper fit and adjustment are crucial. The technology changes so fast I could recommend something today and it will be obsolete tomorrow. The smart folks don't invest until it's absolutely necessary. You'd be amazed how much you can do "offline"; modeling and basic interaction just from the desktop. Eye strain is a problem as is re-orientation to the real world. If a user is "in" for more than 15 minutes we always make sure that they have a "decompression" time of at least a half an hour. There have been cases (not with us) where folks use a VR system, then drive and have accidents. There are many other factors as well. VR is opening up a whole new medical industry! It's a funny ol' world… Cheers, John
