        The glasses we (Haitex) are bringing to market include glasses
and an interface which is plugged into the Joystick port.  Unless the 
guy doing our hardware has changed the design since two weeks ago (unlikely)
the interface will support two pairs of glasses, which we will market
independantly, when the second batch are shipped.

        As far as implementing 3-D goes, I have some code which we give to
developers (and which will be available to the public once it's tested
amounst a controlled group) to ease the job.  None-the-less, some applications
require extesive understanding of trig and basic algebra.  Others are quite
easy.  

        Some drawbacks:

              
             1)  I work in (Benchmark) Modula-2, so if you don't you'll need
                to do some translation.

             2)  My code does not use intuition (for speed reasons).

             3)  My code does not support mult-tasking (as far as I can tell,
                   this would require an O.S. change, though I have one re-
                   maining possible kludge fix????).  Sorry.


        We are activelly seeking 3-D applications and supporting the
integration of 3-D support into existing products.   If anyone has any intrest
in doing any 3-D programs please get in touch with me.  We would like to
support some shareware/freeware app.s if possible.

       
                                                        Thanks,
