We pissed off the wrong people and they shut us down (some Rockefeller trust-fund babies). They actually tried to steal the patent and I dragged them into court. I was up against 5 of the most powerful law firms in the WORLD, and I was pro se. They settled for going away and never again making claims of ownership (or inventorship) over the IP. But they made sure we didn't get funded. I think they call it the "black list" for the tech world :-)
We still have great working prototypes. Won the "Innovations" award at the CES some time back (2006). Going for a continuation patent in the near future with an advanced motion detection system nobody sees coming, which will work with the "GameRunner". This will be WAY past that clunky "Occulus" headset, way more accurate, light, and way less expensive, no drag, no drift, no LAG whatsoever, so not motion sickness.

It's not dead, but surely on ice for now.
