That is changing.  My MicroOpticals were the first of their kind (I'm
particularly difficult to fit) and have the expected glitches - one of
the most significant is that the mirror was mounted too low (look
carefully at the picture and you can see the nose pads :-)  Another
problem, of course, is the 320x240 when you are using your wearable
instead of a desktop.

However, the technology has improved significantly and I'm in the
middle of a new fit.  It also takes time to get up to speed as a new
professor - notice no web page yet (I'm hiding) - so I haven't had
time to make the dedicated MicroOptical machine.

My advice, as always, is to get the best equipment you can, put
together a machine, and figure out what you really want to do with it
and its inadequacies vs. your preconceptions.  It takes patience and a
conviction that this is the right path, because right now the
equipment available is inadequate.

To me, this is not an experiment, nor a hobby, but a better
way of life.
