FEATURE/First VGA Production Headmount Display Shown for VR, Games and Teleconferencing.NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE FEATURES)--Nov. 28, 1994--Coinciding with the opening of the Meckler New York New York, state, United States New York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States. It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of Virtual Reality Expo, RPI RPI - Rockwell Protocol Interface Advanced Technology Group has demonstrated their first direct-connect VGA (Video Graphics Array) The display standard for the PC. All PC display adapters support VGA, and Windows machines boot up in "VGA mode" before switching to higher resolutions. headmount display unit for consumer and commercial VR, games, theatrical entertainment and tele-video applications. The failure of VR to "take-off" has been due, in large part, to low resolution displays. The RPI VGA demonstration shows that the cyber-consumer market is finally feasible. The display area is only an inch in size, which coincides with the size of ordinary glasses. While other displays convert VGA computer graphics to painfully low-resolution ntsc television signals, the RPI display takes pure 640x480 VGA direct from the computer to output in all of its stunning detail. There are no converter (1) A device that changes one set of codes, modes, sequences or frequencies to a different set. See A/D converter. (2) A device that changes current from 60Hz to 50Hz and vice versa. boxes required so you can run your VGA computer monitor and your headset Headphones combined with a microphone.

RPI shipped the first consumer VR glasses and still retains the position of world leader with the smallest, high-style VR glasses available today. RPI maintains that no consumer-level headset will sell, without massive returns, unless a VGA-grade display is used to prevent vision problems. The volume production plans of the competitors call for a quick-hit with cheaper sub-vga display components. Additionally, RPI will present a seminar at Meckler on headmount displays. Called "A Head Of Its Time," the seminar will include a follow-up technology product overview.
