Here's the complete text of the "Homebrew VR" article.
This is my next to last chewing-gum-glued-in article,
before serious moderator training, so your miseries may
be short lived.  Then again, they may not....   :-)

The Whole Earth Review ran an article on VPL, along with some info
on two folks who hacked up a VR using an Amiga, a rudimentary
position sensor, and one of those 3-d positioning devices that looks
like a trackball.
 
Does anyone have any suggestions on how one could put together
a similar system?
 
Thanks,
Pat
