Robert:
Which are you referring to, the software landscape generator
VistaPro, or the video board Vista Pro? With regards to the landscape
generator, it was written by John Hinkley and published by Virtual
Reality Labs, Inc. There is a demo version over in the VRLI section
of the GraphicsA Vendors Forum (GO VRLI), which will give you a good
idea of the capabilities of VistaPro. Most of the larger dealers like
EggHead or CompUSA carry it, or it can be purchased direct if you
can't find a local dealer. You can send me email if you want further
info on ordering.
I will let the VP users list the various uses, but anything
which requires a background landscape of real or fractal locations is
a start. There are several configurations/platforms where it's
available, MS-DOS, Windows, Mac, PowerMac and Amiga. There are CD-ROM
versions available on the PC and the Mac. On the PC, hardware
requirements are 386 or higher processor, 4 megs of memory (or more,
the more the merrier), plenty of disk space for animations and a
MicroSoft compatible mouse.
