-“…the illusion is quite similar to watching the screen in the seat in front of you on an airplane. It’s perfectly acceptable, but falls short of the pompous comparisons to watching a 44” big screen from 9 feet away."
-“you can very easily see around the virtual screen…this makes them more difficult to watch in very bright ambient light conditions.”
… I would probably buy this if I wasn’t broke… imagine the things you could watch and no one could see you watching… even if they just happen to walk in the room, it’s not like a monitor where anyone walking in gets in on your little secrets.
I’d never use the glasses, but a thrift store downtown in my city has a mannequin exactly like that one for sale in their window (and another similar one). It’s even more freaky looking in real life.
cnet gives the Universal Edition (which doesn’t seem to be too different spec-wise from what’s included here) a 2.5/5. Apparently the video quality is okay but nothing special and it’s supposedly uncomfortable.
But it makes you look like LeVar Burton, which is worth &80 in and of itself.
The mannequin is obviously screaming because she is just coming to the realization that driving her car and watching a movie simultaneously was not a good idea!
Perhaps it is to encourage us to buy the MyVu glasses, so that we can put them on and will ourselves into believing that freaky thing isn’t really there.
Gah, I thought that head thing was part of it at first. I thought it was some sort of $80 novelty item. Then I read what it really was and I realized I was still correct.
I waited a long time for this…
I could save $10 over other sites (minus ipod adapter) and increase the probability I’d be hit by a bus, but I’ll just going to sleep… in the road… sounds better.
