ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************

Actually, my questions for science centers are more about their use in  
science centers - how are you using them, how long do visitors wear  
them (if they're head-mounted), are you happy with your tech support,  
etc.? We have a science center attached to the university, which is  
where these will be used. I have had bad experiences with cutting-edge  
technologies that I've tried to work with in science centers when I've  
had lousy tech support, so I'm hoping to get real-world perspective,  
not a sales pitch.

Thanks to those who have contacted me.

*****************************************************************************

We've used eye tracker technologies on and off over the past 40 years.  
  Initial calibration to individual eyes is the big issue, we've had a  
variety of systems.  I suggest that you direct your investigations  
towards the research community.
