Summary: Request for Input to VR Survey

We are conducting a survey of military and industrial applications of
virtual and augmented reality requiring real-time motion tracking. (By
motion tracking, we mean the simultaneous measurement of the
position/orientation of one or more points (sensors) mounted on a human
body.)

Ascension Technology Corporation now provides 6 degree-of-freedom
tracking devices for high resolution VR and Animation applications.

We are interested in learning about research projects as well as current
usage. In responding, do not restrict your response to present-generation
equipment and capabilities. At this stage, we are more interested in
identifying needs and requirements that are innovative and trend setting
than worrying about technology limitations.  

Please respond to the following: 

ascension@world.std.com

Include the statement "VR Survey" on the subject line. If there is enough
interest a summary can be posted/emailed.
