When will HD googles make their appearance for home theatre?

[RichA]

No, I don't mean frigging 3D goggles. I mean high resolution goggles
you can wear, producing something like a 100 inch virtual screen at a
distance of 10ft? Sony (in their cameras) now have pretty high
resolution EVF (electronic viewfinders) and they could be used in
pairs for this purpose. Previous viewing goggles have been low
resolution with annoying lag-times thanks to primitive LCD
technology. But it would be a good idea, providing isolation from
distracting environments around conventional screens or video
projections and (ideally) the best possible view of a source
material. They would also be much cheaper than high-grade, large-
sized TV screens as well as being portable.

That way, instead of texting, you can watch a movie while driving.

Better yet - play a racing video game while driving.

That headset doesn't look much like Geordi's visor to me. Now, if someone
were to offer up a picture of banana clip hair band:

Yes. Overlaid on the streets around him! And with the real

While this thread has wandered off into multiple
diversions, I googled HD goggles and got multiple
opportunities to watch demos of ski goggles that
can record a run as a movie -- looked high enough
definition to impress me. And I started to wonder
whether people have tried buying a pair, wearing them
all day (with sufficient battery power backup)
and producing a private version of The Truman Show.

_Then_ I went back to the original question about
_frigging_ 3D goggles, and thought about making
POV movies about one's sexual experiences
(preferably those involving at least one partner) ...

Moving your head around while watching a supposedly stable scene might
produce some serious mental conflicts. Maybe even worse if you're
watching something like The Office or the Blair Witch Project.

Doesn't seem to bother people in movies or art galleries.

But I believe research in goggles has turned
up a tendency to produce vertigo in some
people.
