Hi Rez, you really should show this off at the upcoming ISMAR in
Florida :) I think in October this year. If there was a contest for
homemade AR helmets you would win hands down I think.
Also, just saw this on CNN. If witricity comes true soon, then no need
to worry about power sources :)

Currently, I'm trying to use a small netbook as a mobile AR unit.
Connect to LCD, earphones + battery lasts for about 8 hours. AR
application running on Windows XP OS running Flash 10 Player/
FLARtoolkit. With Blake's ARtisan, did some online videos and hung
them around the room. But the helmet LCD isn't working so good, the
video is kind of shaky at times. Do you get this issue? Can I please
ask what webcam you are using? Want to try streaming youtube videos to
the AR markers using wifi, but got to fix LCD problem first, giving me
bad headache.
Cheers, juju
