VFX3D virtual reality helmet


VR helmet is the brightest symbol of digital epoch. For example some Hollywood films on this subject: a hero always uses a helmet on his head or a hypertrophied eyeglasses in order to get into this world and start a struggle against his enemies.
Eyesight became the main perception source both in real and virtual world. That's why a lot of companies rack their brains over creation of convenient facilities allowing to dive into the virtual world. IIS (Interactive Imaging Systems) is one of the pioneers in this field. Their first product (VFX1 virtual reality system) was released into the market more than 5 years ago, and although it was not a widespread product, it became a landmark on the way of virtual reality devices to an end-user. Before that moment a range of virtual technologies was exclusive of the military world. Variants of VR head mounted display for pilots of helicopters and some other military trainers have been used for a long time already. A usual user can only envy looking at the characteristics of the military devices. But note that such systems cost up to $250,000.
