I've picked the following from the article: For instance, the head-mounted display is uncomfortable to wear for extended periods and awkward to put on and take off. Think heavy, unbalanced stereo headphones with lots of cables. A curved plastic reflector bounces the screen image from a 1.1-inch color display into one eye. I found the image quality just fine at 640-by-480-pixel resolution, but the curved reflector warped the edges of the screen, including the Microsoft Windows task bar, making it unreadable. Two different reflectors come with the unit. One is opaque, for use when you don't need to see with that eye. The other is transparent and gives a tinted view of everything in front of the user. The transparent display becomes hard to read under direct lighting, however. The lack of comfort for the headgear would (at this stage) probably be similar for VRD, but the images we've seen for how MVIS proposes to make 'glasses' should be an immense improvement. 1-0 to MVIS. Warping of the image is not a VRD feature. 2-0 to MVIS. Transparent image superimposed with capability to read under bright daylight seems to be a direct problem with the LCD display (as if we didn't already know that. That's taken care of by VRD. 3-0 to MVIS. Game, set & match to the VRD technology. The adversary was swept off the court. :-) Kim
