Sun - you asked "BTW, whatever happened to I-Glasses? Did anyone here try them?" Yeah, I did. Purina migraine chow. I actually tried two different kinds of head mounted gear. One was a "Virtual Reality" helmet that had really crappy resolution. The other was a pair of glasses that had flickering polarized lenses to create a "3-D" effect. They were both about as much fun as a root canal with no gas. Bottom line? Any display method that requires the user to wear any sort of head gear is going to meet strong resistance from the marketplace, and IMHO will not succeed against good traditional displays. Gimmicky "3-D" effects aren't enough to compel me to get a headache from watching them. Regards.
