ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions. ***************************************************************************** You might try contacting the Science On Wheels program at Pacific Science Center. When I was there we made our own using plastic sheet magnifiers and safety goggles. They only shifted vision about 5 degrees but it was plenty to notice the effect. I am thinking that 30 degrees would take quite awhile to adapt to. The brain can shift 5 degrees in about 10 - 15 minutes.
