RE: [Virtools] Immersive VR

Jonas,

I would go to your local university and talk to the CG and CS department
heads. Universities are always interested in the latest technical research
opportunities, it would also be good for students to see working technology.
The university would have a greater presence with the hardware manufacture
which you could leverage for getting the free equipment you'd like to do
research with. 

I know I'm over simplifying the process here but you get the idea. Its worth
a shot.
