Sorry to hear this. VIO did open the door to video 3D systems to the
public-at-large, and most of the systems that wound up putting them out of
business wouldn't exist if it weren't for them. One problem was that they
were a Rolls-Royce priced product surrounded by Volkswagon priced
competitors. Then, too, as I've often said, we now have a glut of 3D
viewers but nothing for them to view! If someone doesn't start
concentrating on putting out some commercial 3D video imagery soon, they're
all going to go belly up!
