FPV goggles plus board cam and velcro equals madness and spatial disorientation.

I have had them on for about 15 minutes now and am starting to like
it.  reading the screen is pretty tough as i have to get in real close
but doable.

wide angle lens makes the world a bit weird but not much more than usual.

They seem to make the room full of steam, and remove your clothes.
I think I saw something like this in Fear and Loathing.

Seriously though, I would like to try this - albeit with stereo goggles.
And make my own augmented reality system :)

lol the steam is my broken phone cam, and the clothing removal is, I
assure you, just the shirt, as it is too hot here

yeah that's kind of the idea, stereo would be nice but stereo goggles
are either very expensive or very lo-res, e.g.

For AR I guess just put an off-the-shelf FPV OSD in the video circuit
and strap it to your head! :)

I guess we'll just have to buy two high-res mono goggles, and hack them to
make one stereo set!

What would happen if you got a whole bunch of cameras and rigged them
together - like a 360 degree panorama?
The distortion would play hell with the image but it would be
interesting to see if the brain could adapt after an extended period.

Perhaps have the mounted on a headboard, send the feeds through a mini-
pc and out to the goggles?

Ever played quake 3 with the FOV set to 360 degrees? It makes what's
directly in front of you really small, so it's hard to shoot, and it hurts
your eyes - but you have total visibility!

There have been experiments done where the vision was flipped upside down.
After about 2 weeks they adjusted and it was like normal! Then when normal
vision was restored, it looked flipped to them.

Vuzix have some decent consumer stuff, I've used
http://www.vuzix.com/consumer/products_wrap_1200.html which aren't too bad,
and add $100 and you get an IMU to tack on (a little laggy, but very easy
to use).

They also have an AR headset that was dual cameras.

It's a bit crap that the next step up is something like $10,000 (if anyone
knows any decent stereo headsets let me know!),

yeah snuffkin is a good bloke, but be aware that theres a premium for buying from them, and he asks for a fair bit of info for your first purchase.

goggles.

Tried the Sony HMT-Z1, was pretty good as far as headsets go, hdmi,
720p stereo, power draw was 12w I think, they are so close to being
awesome its irritating that they haven't gone that extra 10%. Played a
ps3 game in 3d and saw a couple of 3d movie trailers, I think you
would have to tweak them for comfort as they seem a bit lacking there.
They wanted 899$ in the AU sony store though, I'm waiting to see what
they come down to once the stock levels have reached an equilibrium or
once wow and jb get hold of them.
