I am in the final stages of building a glasses based mounting for
the developers kit I bought last year and showed off at the ISWC.

Their FSC boards are rather large, about 9 inches by 5 inches,
and the maximum cable length to the actual display is only 12 inches
according to their engineers.

BUT, their latest display driver board for their greyscale 640x480
display which was finally released last week is pictured on their
web site and appears to be about 3 inches by 2 inches.  I should
be getting mine sometime next week.  I will have alot more information
then.

For an early picture of my work-in-progress HMD, check out

As near as I can tell, it is STILL the cheapest VGA+ resolution
display available at $1249 for the 640x480 greyscale developers kit.

I will be posting full design specs for my wearable including pictures
as soon as I have the display fully working.  The wearable itself was
built as cheaply as possible, and has so far run me about $2500.
If you follow my design now that I have the kinks worked out, it should
only cost about $2000 for the 486 class cpu.

More info to follow after I get the newer display driver board.
