I have developed a pretty useable 800x600 mostly-covert wearable prototype. It can bee seen at http://users.cwnet.com/vvortex3/hmd/prototype.html I had an earlier prototype that was more similar to Don Papp's that can also be seen at http://users.cwnet.com/vvortex3/hmd/ I have spent about $2500 on optics and tools, and my microdisplay + pc interface kit so far. That lens that you see hacked apart costed $400 alone. I am going to write up a step-by-step guide to what I have done so far so that it can benefit the community. I may be interested in selling my current hmd prototype and/or wearable core to try to make up some of my costs. HMD: Emagin Monocular PC Interface Kit (800x600 true pixel 24-bit color OLED) Emagin curved optic lens (highly modified) Emagin lens mounting kit (highly modified, actually the display now mounts sideways) Walmart Foster Grante "Vengeance" Sunglasses CORE: Sony Vaio U-50 6x4x1" Computer 900mhz Celeron, 256MB Ram, 20gb HD, 802.11 I would be interested in selling this at $2600. Compare this to a Microoptical display + core and you are getting a bargain. I have had my fun, time for someone to improve on my work. The woman is starting to get suspicious, call Dewayne (916)533-0007. ---- Msg sent via CWNet - http://www.cwnet.com/ _______________________________________________ Wear-Hard mailing listhttp://www.haven.org/mailman/listinfo/wear-hard
