ARLINGTON, Texas - GameCom/Ferris, a manufacturer of virtual reality systems, said it is entering the educational and museum market with the installation of two products at the Science Museum of Virginia in Richmond, Va.

L. Kelly Jones, president of the Texas firm, said in a company news release that the company has initiated an effort to market its products to museums and science centers, because the industry "Â…has a great demand for high-tech attractions, and we expect similar contracts in the near future."

The Virginia installation includes two of the company's stand-up Universal VR 360s and two three-seat VR Sensory Theaters, which will provide a re-creation of ancient Egypt and an underwater tour of ocean life.

Earlier this week, GameCom/Ferris announced it will install a VR system in Salt Lake City for the 2002 Winter Olympics.
