	A consumer eye position sensor was shown at this years Spring COMDEX.
It was configured for the Nintendo and should be available this fall.

	Soon we will be able to explore Cyberspace with our Amigas.
Picture this: sitting down in front of your A3000 with a data glove on
each hand, Haitex X-Specs (for 3D), stereo sound, speech synthesis,
Vo-Rec-One (for speech recognition), and this new eye position tracker.
All we need is some extra joystick ports, some Cyberspace software, and
a dark room so no one will see us in our artificial reality outfit :-)
