So few days ago I bought Virtual i-O iGlasses along with the PC upgrade kit on local auction portal. Seems to be complete will all paperwork and accessories. Seller stated they worked last time they were used (many years ago) - we will see. Nobody was bidding on it and almost nobody watched it and I bough it for a very modest price. 🤣 people are really clueless. While iGlasses offered similar (if not better from what I vaguely remember from the 90s where I tested both side-by-side) visual quality as the VFX1 they were a bit more clunky - instead of using internal ISA card they used external box. Also head tracking was worse and they never got as popular as VFX1. It's one of the reasons they are rarely found nowadays. One advantage they have over VFX1 is that they are a bit more functional because you can input any video source with composite output (old game consoles, TV tuners, and so on) or VGA output (VFX1 also was able to ingest CVBS signal but Forte never made it possible because there is no RCA connector on the headset). They need some love (usual problems with foam falling apart) but they will fit nicely my growing collection of VR headsets (including the vintage ones).
