Interesting, I wasn't aware the earlier systems ran on Amiga's, all of
the later systems ran on stock PC's with special ISA bus cards
installed. I have a full SU2000 system (less the stand) here in the
office which I plan to put up onto Ebay shortly.
The Company who built them was called Virtuality and they were
contracted by Atari to produce the JagVR System. I have a working
prototype of one of the systems. Virtuality made Missile Command 3D
for both their Virtuality systems and for the Jaguar 64 (it will worth
with and without the JagVR helmet & tracker.

Wow... I remember playing on a pair of those at COSI, the Center of
Science and Industry, in Columbus at their Virtual Reality exhibit
12-ish years ago.
My recollection was that they came with Amiga 3000s, but I wonder if
the app would be any smoother or faster responding running on an
A4000. I presume the TMS34010-based video card would migrate over,
but I don't recall if they did anything funny with the A3000 itself,
like custom boot ROMs or any shortcuts that would prevent dropping in
a 68040 or faster.
I think one of these made an appearance in "Hackers" (1995).
