I know this has been discussed before (what were some of the message subjects? I'd like to look them up in the archive...), but what would it take to build your own display? Even it was only mono. I'm sure there are several display designs, the PrivateEye scanning method is the only one I'm familiar with. I'd like to know if there are any other relatively simple designs such as this one. Also, as far as experimental wearables are concerned, how far would we be able to stray from the standard VGA/NTSC hardware and protocols? Eliminating that and using a much cleaner design specifically designed for simple mono display would probably be much easier to design and use less control hardware (of course I've never dealt with these, so I'm only guessing here...). I too am waiting for a better/cheaper HMD option before I build my wearable computer, so I'd be interested in looking into this. Does anyone have any thoughts on this (however crazy it may be)?
