VFX1 HEADGEAR User's Manual
High Fidelity Stereo Headphones - Designed with high quality stereo
speakers, the VFX1 HEADGEAR utilizes any standard stereo sound card for an
awesome VR experience.
Microphone - The VFX1 HEADGEAR has a COMSET™ built into the Smart
Visor™. This condenser microphone allows player-to-player communication for
applications that support this feature.
3D VOS™ Head Tracker - FORTE's patented Virtual Orientation System
(VOS™) tracks your head's every move. The Digital Signal Processor (DSP)
controller provides accurate input and responsive feedback putting you in the
middle of the virtual world. The VOS™ head tracker provides roll, pitch, and yaw
for precise VR orientation. Since this is passive, there is no need for external
tracking equipment. Everything is self-contained in the headset.
VFX1™ Interface Protocol (VIP™) Card - This unique interface allows
the VFX1 HEADGEAR™ to connect with existing VGA cards (your existing
adapter must have a fully VESA compliant feature connector). There is no need
to purchase a separate video card to get virtual reality images. This feature allows
you to use this headset with today's existing software applications. Should you
upgrade your system to a higher performance video adapter, the VFX1
HEADGEAR will reflect the improvement.
ACCESS.bus™ Interface - The VIP™ Card also acts as a host for the
ACCESS.bus™ PC Connectivity Standard. ACCESS.bus™ is a powerful interface
allowing you to connect up to 125 different peripherals to a single Host Card.
FORTE peripherals utilize ACCESS.bus™ to bring the future to your PC by
providing the latest in superior interface technology. This interface allows you to
keep your other peripherals (mouse, joystick, etc...) connected as usual with the
capability to install future FORTE VR peripherals or any other ACCESS.bus™
peripheral to your PC.
FORTE CyberPuck™ - The 2-axis CyberPuck™ frees the user from the
restraints of a desktop mouse or joystick. The unit provides 3 programmable
buttons and comfortable ergonomic control for either left or right-handed users.
The CyberPuck™ connects to the FORTE VFX1 HEADGEAR system via an
ACCESS.bus™ port located at either the rear of the helmet or on the VIP Card.
