RE: Good display devices

Steve and Michael-

  I played with some of the Sony PC Glasstrons when my SONY friend was in
town. They are cool. Not to mention they are shaded  and partially
transparent, plus have their own LI battery. The only thing is that they are
pricey, I have found an alternative:

 buy the RCA VIDEO GLASSTRONS for $599.00 and then use a $100 external VGA
to NTSC convertor that will support 800/600 (there are tons of brands out
there.) The major drawback about that is they have an enclosed display and
make mobility very difficult. Mobility/Price it's just a decision factor.

Does anyone know a good distributor for mini-motherboards? I'd like to build
a spec like IBM's, check this link out:

Good Luck.

Hello Michael,

MN> I've seen a lot of discussion about inexpensive wearable display
devices, but they all seem to have major drawbacks.  For my project, money
really isn't much of a big deal (as long as the display
MN> device isn't over US$1500 or so).  What really matters to me is: display
resolution, power, and convenience.  I don't want some big and bulky CRT
hanging off my head, and don't want to lose the
MN> use of one eye to a dedicated display device.  I'd rather not have some
small LCD display hanging from a boom in front of my face either, but thats
less obtrusive.
Well, I wouldn't consider $1500 cheap, but that's not that much for a
good display. I' looking for a capable display as well and took a look
at the eGlasses (www.virtualvision.com), but the evaluation kit, which
looks like it would suit my needs very well is quite pricy. $5000.
I think you might want to take a look at Sonys glasses, which is a
cute little pair of glasses. No bulky thing on your head :). I have no
experience with this one, but it seems like a quite easy to use
solution.
