The VFX3D, EyeTrek-FMD700 and the i-glasses X2 claim to have 360k-pixel per eye. As far as I know they've got 180k-pixel LCD's with some resolution-doubler technology. Does anyone know how this works? Is there some micro-prism which switches rapidly or something? Christoph |

Go to http://www.ilixco.com/doubling.html and download the white paper. Everything explained. They are the parent of i-O Display BTW. |

I'm not a high tech mind, but it would make sense that the only way to "double" fixed resolution would be to somehow flicker alternate images and that would result in more eye-strain. Regardless of how it works and what they say the "specs" are, there are only a few questions for consumers at the end of the day: What affordable/consumer level ($1500-$500) "appears" to have the best display, which is the most comfortable, and which has good support (not a discontinued device).... From what I've read it looks like the VFX3D is the only true all-in-one-even-close-to-consumer-price VR device so it deserves credit for that alone. The Olympus eye-trek has some great reviews compared to the Glasstron and IO Displays. But there is also an HMD by Canon. Cristoph, an article that reviewed./compared all of the consumer "personal display" & "VR" devices-- including the VFX3D, Olympus and possible combos-- i.e. various trackers would be great. Something that looked beyond the spec, and instead looked at the actual experience of using these gizmos. |

The next issue of the Micro Display Report will focus on HMD's. I do not know how in depth he will hit all of the things you would like to see, but we shall see. Steve |
