Re: The Best CHEAP HMD?

Glasstron S700 can be obtained used for just over $1000 or just over $2000
new.  That does not include a battery, which is $75 to $145 new.  Glasstron
has numerous drawbacks, but is a high-quality 600-800 SVGA ready HMD.  It is
encumbering, power consumptive, and significantly reduces vision.  There are
a couple of hacks that can be done easily, though, and it is a complete
ready-to-use package.
