Hello-

I'm hunting for sources for the following gizmos: 

Breath Control: there must be a MIDI synth breath-control unit, but
quadraplegics use computers with these, too, so there may be another
system (control + PC card?) around.

Stereo LCD goggles: these have separately-controlled left and right lenses.
You look through them at a standard picture tube, and which lens
is opaque or transparent is synchronized with refreshing the
screen from the left or right stereo screen buffer.  VPL's goggle helmet
is a little pricy (>$7000) for home experimentation.

Thanks,

Lance Norskog
