The Gaming Den

OK, while i was trying to read up on the Sony HMZ-T1, i stumbled upon this one:
http://www.siliconmicrodisplay.com/st1080.html
And what can i say, fuck everything else, this will be my next toy/project i think . .
Full HD Head Mounted Display, weights only a fraction of what the Sony one weights . .
Is see through, so can be used with other stuff . . Can be made fully opaque too.
Does not need a frigging big Box like the HMZ-T1 needs. Can be used with a battery pack on the go.
And they are planning a 4k Version too

Only downside is the not OLED screens, as far as i can tell . . price at below 700$ seems VERY reasonable to me too . .


Anybody wanting to weight in a bit on this one?

We therefore see the strange result that the same fragment of spacetime may be observed, in quick succession, as Soon, Never, and All Too Quickly.

Do want. Only question is if this can be worn over glasses.

Yes, this should be the break-through for augmented reality by using a mini-computer with an attached camera . .
This would only work for shortsighted people though i think.
Farsighted people would still need their glasses underneath this thing, so they can see the up close and personal screen directly in front of their eyes, right?

For nearsighted people this could actually work i guess, seeing how the screens themselves are extremely close to the eyes . .
no idea what astimatism is/does though, so no idea about interaction between/with these two.

Astigmatism is when one (or both) of your lenses isn't symmetrical. So instead of being a circle, it's an oval. So you literally can refocus by tilting your head.

It's a pain in the ass for contacts. They have little weights on the bottom. No noticeable difference, but it costs more, and lying on your side weirds them up.

Ah, i see.
Should this not be workable with these adjustable screens too?
