Hi, my name is Kevin Mellott and I like to mess around with VR. I graduated with Honors from High Tech Institute, a trade school in Phoenix, AZ and currently have my Associate degree in Computer/Electronics, FCC GROL Certification, C.E.T. certification, Fiber Optic Certification, and my A+ Certification.

VR is one of my passions. I've had experience with several VR devices like: the VFX-1, Nintendo's Power glove, the Aura Interactor Vest, various shutterglasses, the CyberMaxx HMD, Union Reality's headset, and plenty of others. I have delt with Freeware software like Rend386, Avril, and VR-386. I've had some experience with the 2morrow world builder, Virtus Walkthrough Pro, and alittle 3D-Studio Max. I have some minute software capablities in Visual Basic and C++. I work with it all as much as possible.

I have surfed the web countless hours looking for everything from Power glove information to old Vr Systems that never where, like Atari's IVR system. I am going to update my page as much as possible with all the information I have ever found on any subject regarding Virtual Reality and so forth. If you ever have any questions or comments please feel free to email me. I have much more info then listed here and I am always happy to help. So here goes.

Here is my Virtual Boy page.

Check out my some of my projects: Wireless Data Glove, The Dataglove , A Victormaxx Stuntmaster Upgrade and my Telepresence Robot.

The VFX-1 Headset works great with any computer system with a VESA connector. I have several games that work great. The best game is definitely Quake in 3D. You can also give it an optics upgrade which greatly improves performance. Here is my Personal Review.

The Virtual I/O Glasses work well too. The ease of use and clarity are great for any homebrewer. Here's my review on this HMD.

The Philips Scuba Visor is a decent headset.  Its a video only headset but has a higher FOV than most lower end  HMD's .  There's little on the web about the subject, but they can be found on Ebay for around 250.00 dollars. Here is my Review .

 

 

The CyberMaxx Headset is another low end VR Helmet.  It was made by VictorMaxx, a company that is now out of Buisness.  They are available at E-bay  for a low as 65 dollars. Check out my Review.

 

The Power Glove from Nintendo is an excellent low end Virtual reality device. It can be used to take movements from your hand and place them on the screen. You can grap and manipulate virtual objects. The Power glove can be found at garage sales and pawn shops for around 10 dollars.

 

The Rock N Ride Simulator is an awesome game chair that I have just become aware of. It runs around 700.00 dollars and is supposed to be quite a ride. I am looking forward to getting one and trying it out.

 

Here is a picture of me skydiving. I am the guy in front with the blonde hair.
