Which HMD's are available with; a) 3D ability (field separation or sequential interlaced); b) NTSC and PAL RCA jack input support; c) Cconsumer cost less than $1,000 (USD). Please post links for best HMD's. Thank you. | ||

The i-glasses can do SVGA not NTSC nor PAL, and it costs less than $1,000 US. You forgot two very important factors. Resolution and field-of-view. | ||

Thanks for the input; I was told that the I-Glasses is not stereoscopic. FOV is important; The required res is limited by the NTSC/Pal input. (Soon HDTV). I hope I don't have to make my own HMD as considerable research has been devoted to this over the years. | ||

If you can make your own, we'd all be interested in looking at it. Typically, its easier said then done. | ||

I-glasses IS stereoscopic. I have one. FOV is only 28 degrees. | ||

What model do you have? According to Ross at i-glasses.// "we do not currently have a video based 3D capable model" Too bad cause they make a nice product. Anyone have experience with the units from 5DT.com? | ||

The i-glasses I have is SVGA based, not video based. | ||

The i-glasses come in both a 2D and 3D model. The 3D model is the more expensive one. | ||

My understanding is that the i-Glasses units are seteroscopic for the PC but do not have the RCA video inputs. The older ones did have the 3D inputs for TV but is not being made any longer. Thats too bad as the i-Glasses units are well made. Surely someone makes a stereoscopic unit for connection to stereoscopic DVD and VCR tape inputs. | ||

get a rca to svga convertor, the 3d in the i-glasses is all built in, if your looking to use your 3d shutterglass setup from a tv or something it should still work. I got the i-glasses 3d and like them a lot. FOV isn't what I really want, but I would have to pay out the nose for the FOV I would really like. | ||

Thanks - So I can purchase the I-Glasses and use an RCA->SVGA converter. Are you sure that you get left-right eye seperation to produce 3D? What model i-Glasses do you suggest? ==== Thanks in advance . . | ||

Don´t buy the i-glasses. There is a new, much better and cheaper HMD, called X-eye. And in march the X-viewer comes out as well. Search this forum for threads. | ||

Do not believe that the X-viewer or X-eye will ever come out any time soon. | ||

the more I think about what I said with the RCA>SVGA the less I think it would work well. the iglasses may not recieve the separated signals right, if its going thru a convertor like that. these things sound easy sometimes but then they end up never working the way you would expect, or hope for them to. another thing I thought of, if it was that easy then iglasses would already have one.  I would say ask and see if anyone has been able to make a homebrew adapter to separate the signals, for the Iglasses. is that X-eye the new oLED one? I'm really hopeing that shows up soon, I want ot check it out, with the oled though they should be able to make a full wrap around LED for true Full immersion, peripheral vision and all. | ||

The X-eye was shown on an exhibition i california some weeks ago (see http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/040106/65409_1.html ). It´s on the assembly line in mars and on the street in april. The X-viewer will be on Cebit in the end of mars, and according to Steve Glaser at IIS it´s on the market ruffly at the same time as the X-eye. See this forum for more info. | ||

Unfortunately, The X-eye only got about 40 degrees field of view (FOV). Maybe, that´s not the kind of immersion you´re after. Daeyang says they will have their new OLED HMD out in about a year, but one of the key figures at that company, Soki Choi, has left Daeyang for a robotics company. And their HMD will have just a slightly larger FOV, namely 51. | ||

Is the VFX1 from Forte still in production? Was this HMD RCA stereoscopic 3D compatible? | ||
