An HMD is a Head Mounted Display. Basically glasses with two LCD screens on them. The most popular model at the moment is probably the VR920. However something happened with the VR920 driver and I am not able to get it to work anymore. Not sure what the problem is. You can read a review I wrote of the VR920 here: http://www.mtbs3d.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=120&t=12193" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; . Vuzix is also coming out with a new headset in a few months called the VR1200 which is the upgrade to VR920 and should have better driver support. You can also see this post I just made regarding the VR920/VR1200: http://www.mtbs3d.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=12711" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; . Short answer is that the cheap HMDs on the market right now are not as good as you might imagine and your money is probably better spent on something like a 3D projector or 120Hz LCD.
