Future of 3D gaming and media *spawn

my HMZ

 

Hmm... interesting ! [Must resist... must not... look...]

Here's LG's update for their glasses free TV:

EDIT: I think someone might make a half helmet (only the front part), like a crowd or Hayabusa's head gear in Ninja Gaiden. It should spread the pressure of the front pad. The back strap works okay for me.

 

I wonder what the resolution of the LG display is. I hope it's 1920x1200, but I'm expecting to be disappointed.

 

My HMZ seems to fit just fine without that. Image quality is amazing. I know the PQ of my Vita will be equally stunning, now.

 

Me too, but I think a better HMZ-T1 harness should accommodate more head shapes, feels more comfortable, and allows for more expansion. e.g., A helmet or half-helmet can take additional gadgets like a mic and a front camera at the same time.

 

Here are the latest media apps & their release dates. Vudu & MLB.TV are 2 that were not announced last October...

I think the forum software has a posting bug when the clock goes over the minute. This is the second time it has happened to me.

If the NBA can sort itself out soon I would love to stream games to my PC. Wouldn't mind paying a premium for it either, especially if they have 3D coverage for the teams I'm most interested in watching.

EDIT:
New HMZ-T1 demo station @ SonyStyle:


The "floating" visor/arc is the base unit. Make it lighter/smaller, pluggable and partner with different harness providers... and I'll buy one !

 

I wonder if there's a market for a third party harness? The active gubbins are just screens and such, so it'd be easy to pull one visor apart and put it something of a different design. Although maybe it's just cheaper for a 3rd party company to buy the components and build their own.

 

Probably not (yet). For the next version, they should start by making the default harness removable.
Sony themselves can sell us an improved harness along the way.

Sensics cheapest HMD is like 24 grand. If this one is under a grand and offer their panoramic view ie 150 degrees fov as well as 3D, I would I get one in a heartbeat.
