Work like you don't need the money.
Love like you've never been hurt.
Dance like nobody's watching.
Pray like there's no tomorrow.

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.
