Z800 3D VR HMD for the display at 800x600 actual. It has a head tracker
built in.

Or go with a gyromouse maybe?

 What we're looking for are two bits of kit: 1. Head-mounted display [VR-type helmet]; 2. Mouse replacement attached to HMD. Can anyone recommend a decent HMD that we can start testing with and
 perhaps recommend the type of hardware we'd need to act as a mouse? We're thinking something like an electronic gyroscope - the idea being that the movements of the head would replace the movements of the mouse.
 We want something reasonably inexpensive that can handle VGA at 800x600 res or above. Three of us [not me] are programmers who can interpret I/O but none of us have much experience with the hardware side of this type of kit.
 Any recommendations or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Dom. _______________________________________________ Wear-Hard mailing list <a href="mailto:">
