Simulation and LBE Applications
The 2000SU and SD models were introduced to great industry fanfare. Powered by an Intel 486-PC and using Motorola 88110 processors for graphics rendering.[9] They have several more games, including Dactyl Nightmare 2 – Race For The Eggs!, Zone Hunter and Pac-Man VR.
There was also a 3000 series which was basically a 2000 Series machine upgraded with faster processor (Intel Pentium) and a rifle-type controller. They were offered in 2 versions, a “normal” SU-3000 with a generic rifle-type controller and a “Total Recoil” version with an official Winchester Replica Rifle-type controller that featured a CO2 powered blowback mechanism. The “Total recoil” Version came with the game package “Quickshot Carnival” which featured Clay shooting and other target practice. The “normal” generic-rifle version came with the game “Zero Hour” which was a First person shooter “on Rails” that was tailor made for the gun controller.
Elysium
Virtuality has used its VR technology for many applications. Elysium was the first virtual reality system developed in partnership with IBM for use in architectural, medical, training and construction applications, to give designers and architects a clear visualization and spatial context along with practical hands on “virtual” use. Elysium is a fully integrated VR workstation, including development software tools, along with the visette2 and V-Flexor hand-held controller.
