Well, I’ve wanted to have one of these HMDs for about 4 years now.
Finally found one off of eBay for $70. So I went for it.
My main use for it was to view movies while I was too physically exhausted to keep my head up to watch them on my monitor. The resolution is about 320×240. The same as a standard TV. Right now, it behaves as my 2nd monitor.
The resolution is low, and it makes font 10 text extremely difficult to read. But for anything bigger: its awesome. Also came with battery pack.
My new project is to pair it up with the house’s digital camera (which has RCA out), and have it play movies stored on the camera’s review mode (working out .mov formatting – see if I can get a movie on there).
