Your body can withstand some radiation fine, but can your eye withstand an exploding battery right next to it?

btw, how about remodeling the antenna as anime cyberpunk bunny-ears?

The main pain I have with these HMD’s are they require you to have perfect vision in order to use them. If you do not have perfect vision, you still need to wear glasses in order to use the vr920, which brings up another problem. Trying to fit glasses in between the HMD and your face is painful and doesn’t work. A simple telescoping option for each optic would fix this.

To wear the VR920 comfortably I had to destroy the case and remount the device in a pair of sports goggles. The sports strap and added room in the goggles leaves room for my glasses and fits my larger head.

I’m very curious how Vuzix new line of Wrap HMDs will work by comparison.

i saw some online with in color hd and vga.

In goggles this is harder, you have to make the imaginary screen appear at certain distance to the eye, while in reality it’s too close to focus. This is an optical problem already, but I believe it’s been solved, or HMD’s like this wouldn’t exist. Now if we want to have realworld image together with projected image, we need the projected image to appear in hyperfocal plane and magically superimposed. Now that doesn’t sound impossible at all, but I had never seen anything like this for some reason and I wonder why. No commercial applications yet, or is the optics for this too complex and heavy for practical use maybe?

Don’t get “designer concepts” you see in blogs for real, you would never be able to see cool images projected on your regular pair of shades. And re:VGA cam.. That’s a hack ;) I would never trust my entire field of view to a laggy low res vga cam.

i did run into a method of displaying colour field sequential 3-D, by displaying opposing colour fields on each screen. So you end up with L (G) R (R,B), then on the next frame L (R,B) and R (G)

requires only a MC1377 and some logic to implement, and two RGB LEDs mounted in place of the existing backlights.

I was thinking along similar lines, but for the street. I’ve long dreamt of putting a HUD in my full-face helmet, but I just wasn’t willing to have a huge cable running down my back. This would make a full-featured helmet completely wireless.

Thanks h-a-d and w3pt!

Not sure about the battery part. However, aluminum foil should help with the trasceivers.

“even the device’s creator himself questions whether having a pair of microwave transceivers and a LiPo battery strapped directly over one’s eyes and brain is such a good idea.”

Radiation, yes indeed! You hear the most outrageous lies about it. Half-baked, goggle-boxed do-gooders telling everybody it’s bad for you. Pernicious nonsense! Everybody could stand a hundred chest x-rays a year. They should have them too.
