Hi, What is the cheapest anyone has ever seen a HMD display sell for? The cheapest I have seen was $200 as the starting price at an auction. Is there anywhere online where I can buy a cheap, used, non-stereo, broken/cracked, or maybe even black and white HMD with limited compatibility? Basically, all I would want is a head-mounted TV. Thanks. | ||

Maybe the old VictorMaxx StuntMaster would fit your "needs." :-) Once I saw one go on eBay for under $20. | ||

I remember reading some posts about people not liking the StuntMaster. I also found a web-site that said you had to "hack" the StuntMaster to make it work for TV. What is the Stunt Master like? | ||

I never really tried one, but honestly, word is that it's basically junk. Sorry. Finding a real cheap HMD will probably be difficult. HMDs are just too complex of items to be too cheap (say < $100US), if you want any kind of quality at all. And even the old obsolete ones were sold in limited enough numbers (since their prices were high new) that there's quite a bit of demand for them on eBay (used, with much lower prices), but it's that demand that keeps the price driven up to around several hundred dollars. When new HMDs can be sold for $500 or less (I've heard $300 would be an ideal threshold), the manufacturers will have a runaway success and VR will take off. You have an anonymous coward's word on it. | ||

You can take a stuntmaster and add a Union Reality tracking system to it. All for under 300.00 dollars. Possibly cheaper if you do it all on ebay. Check it out on my website. www.geocities.com/mellott124 under the Stuntmaster/UnionReality Project or under the "all the information" link. | ||

Hi, On your site you said, "I have an old Nintendo gun hooked up to the joystick port so I can use it to simulate the gun. " Does this mean a nintendo gun will work with a PC on any game? It will just plug into a joystick port? Thanks |
