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?
Thomson iPhones closer than we thought?

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?

Dude, was planning to do this for AR *anyway*. Maybe if my vision weren't so bad I'd be confident this would actually solve the problem. I don't know how accurate the screens would look with out augmenting away my extreme nearsightedness and astigmatism, and I'd rather be sure I can actually use the thing.DSMatticus wrote:Attach camera.

Natural sight is still a needed intermediary between the screen and visual cortex, unless you want to use those ridiculously low-resolution cybereyes they're implanting in blind people nowadays.
I dream of the day when that isn't the case, but it hasn't come just yet.

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?
