Hi, this is Dewayne Debbs. I used to post to wear-hard about a year ago. I am posting pictures of my HMD projects. Hopefully they will help somebody. All of my pictures are located here: http://users.cwnet.com/vvortex3/hmd/ I sold that prototype to somebody on this mailing list about a year ago... dont recall who. I am researching the possibility of a new hmd. I believe it could possibly be the perfect HMD if it is actually possible to build. Take a look at the last couple sketches in my image directory for details. I am trying to recruit Don Papp into this project (Hi if you're listening). The basic concept is to take 2 sunglass lenses, between the layers would be thousands of pixel-thin fiber optic fibers forming a coherent array of pixels. One array would cover the entire lens facing the eye, the other array would cover enough of the outer lens to feed a camera. I believe this concept could make a very thin input and output from a person's eye. The thousands of fiber optic cables could go into a tube and down the back of the ear, down to some sort of focusing device, and then to an LCD (or what have you). The other side could go to a focusing device, and then to a camera. This would completely relocate all optics, lcd's, cameras off of the headset...and from what I can tell is theoretically possible. The main problem: What type of fiber optic fibers are flexible enough to do this? How do you physically create a coherent fiber optic array? (a 640x480 screen would have 307,200 fibers). Any input is appreciated. If I gather that this is in fact possible, I will probably make a website for a development effort for creating such a device. ---- Msg sent via CWNet - http://www.cwnet.com/ _______________________________________________ Wear-Hard mailing listhttp://www.haven.org/mailman/listinfo/wear-hard
