From an earlier posting... [MODERATOR'S NOTE: Nope, that isn't the Sony Visortron depicted in the WALL STREET JOURNAL. It's the lightweight HMD made by Virtual Vision, Inc., of Redmond, Washington, USA. The VV "SportsGlasses" will be available, according to the article, in April 1993. They are not true 3D but very well could be.] I saw the "SportGlasses" at the CES show in Vas Vegas. They are not intended for VR and would need to be redesigned to be used that way. Yes the system is mono -one eye- but it only provides an image to a small percent of you field of view and is not intended to block out normal vision. It looks nice and is the kind of VT system you could use driving you car but not for VR. -Ron L.
