All you have to do is port the codes to the machine that is running the VR (and it must be a good damn fast machine, not that Amiga 2000 they use for Virtuality). Also, for motions, it would not be so bad to convert the if head move left to turn left and right, but it would be quite a chore looking up and down and in 3-d (body movement), since the program doesn't promote that feature. If you work at it for like 2-3 months with the 5 people crew like ID, you could pull it off (porting, etc.) -Zelpheri *** This SIG is currently under construction. Coming features: More dumb quotes!
