Attempt #1
Stumbled upon a headmounted display at Essex right after reading Ready Player One and decided it was fate so I bought it. --strages (talk) 21:26, 21 August 2013 (CDT)
Headmounted display
- Sony HMZ T1 (strages)
- dual screen (one per eye)
- 720p per eye
- HDMI input with HDMI pass through for an additional screen
- Supports 3D
- Blu-ray
- split screen stereoscopic
- 5.1 surround sound via headphones
- Cost: ~$190
- dual screen (one per eye)
Notes
- I need to move the screens closer to the eyes to better fill the field of view for better immersion. Right now it's like a 150" display 8' away. --strages (talk) 21:32, 21 August 2013 (CDT)
