Nice 1992 W Industries video on youtube.com

Post by airons1972 »

Hi Guys,

I dont know if any of you will be interested in this or not, but two weeks ago someone
posted a great video on youtube about W Industries, the UK firm that produced those
Virtuality arcade machines in the early 1990's. The video runs for 11 minutes and is nice
just to see all those old VR machines and take a look around the W Industries factory in
Leicester, England.

Yes cool video.

Here's another interesting one with an interview with Johnathon Waldern the CEO and founder of Virtuality.

Interesting comments from both of them (most turned out to be wrong for different reasons)

If you listen closely in the background of this video, you can hear the echo of Palmer being born.

Yes, but what makes it more painful for me is that I was there when the interview was being recorded!!!!

VR-veteran. Imagine the mindfuck of todays equivalent computers being 32 000+ times more powerful than in 1992
