This 
(https://eisner.decus.org/anon/htnotes/range?f1=INDUSTRY_NEWS&f2=491.0) 
suggests that the VRE01 was made by Planar Systems, Inc., of Beaverton, OR.

Perhaps that might point you towards actual documentation.

There's also a fact sheet 
(https://eisner.decus.org/anon/htnotes/range?f1=INDUSTRY_NEWS&f2=491.1).



I do remember the VRE01 appearing in the DEC catalogues of the 1990s but 
I never saw one in real life. Perhaps the $11K price tag explains that :-)
