This is awesome, didn't even know this existed! Wish I could try them out around here.

i shouldnt knock it w/o trying it but i read about these in my VR class in college. I recall reading that the biggest problem with the head mounted displays is the close distance the eye has to focus. With lots of movement, test subjects experienced vertigo very quickly.

Looks like ******. Won't give em the benefit of the doubt.

I remember playing some N64 game on a glasses type display.. I got the worst headache I ever had after 30 minutes or so.

Thanks for the great tips guys! I can see that these kind of problems may not be fixed yet.

I have a pair of VR goggles laying in my closet.

They're fun for racing games, but not much else. I want to sell them.

Edit: I gotta say though, those look a lot better than the ones I have. I wonder what they consider "high resolution."

Edit 2: 640x480
Not bad but 1024x768 would be a lot better. Or a widescreen resolution.
