About this technology
Overview
Flogiston Corporation was included in Spinoff 1992 for its stress reducing chair based on data from NASA's Anthropometric Source Book. Now, under a NASA SBIR, Flogiston developed a new form of immersion in virtual and video spaces called Neutral Immersion. The technology is called Flostation and is the commercial spinoff from the astronaut training system. Motorola purchased the first Flostation for testing and demonstrating a new warping chip it is developing.
