Re: Albatech Eye-glass display now available

I've used the Albatech display.....actually have it as made by
"Densitron."  Driven via NTSC or PAL video currently.

I actually like the design.  The display is positioned well - you can
see your feet when looking down and forward when looking straight
forward easily.  Power is relatively low - they claim 2.7W, I think
its actually lower.  The 2-eyedness is a bit annoying...I'd rather
have the greater image intensity (or less power in the backlight) and
get rid of one of the mirrors.

Text was OK but not great (I should have counted columns, but forgot),
but NTSC is not really a good way to test it.  The VGA converter is
coming out sometime soon (of course :-).

We're doing more formal testing and will get back to y'all.
