I would never buy anything from a company using that kind of channels

Sorry man, will do

I flew my Parrot Ar Drone Quadrocopter with the Sony HMD for the first time today, it was sick! It was very sunny which is very bad when flying with a laptop screen as display, but with the Sony I could sit right in the sun and it was totally black* inside my HMD.

*I had to remove the foam I use as lightblocker because it became to hot inside the HMD which made the optics foggy, but since i made a tight fit bewteen the optics and the ski goggle glasses it was still dark enough inside the HMD

Cool.

How is gaming on the goggles now?

As good as it can get with current gen HMD's, I get focus in 95% of the image, and i can play with no pain, after an hour I do feel the weight over my nose, but no pain like with the stock design.

I hope next gen HMD's will have better optics with a wider focus range

You should post a pic of the completed goggles.

Will do, I'm not home at current, but when I get home i will.

Funny side note, I have raised my cell phone in the flag pole outside and conneced my laptop to it using the wifi-hotspot feature in the phone. Only way of getting 3G connection at my girlfriends country house

I know you mentioned that an enclosure is tough because of weight, I would try mocking something up out of foamcore board and hot glue. Lightweight, and strong enough for what you are doing.

i had a chance to try headplay when it was being auctioned by Dell with free shipping - usd$149[free shipping]
though image quality was great but the whole unit seemed cumbersome and the optics was NOT good [screen being too close and reflective - black spots if slightly out of angle ] so i saved my usd$149 then forgoing the offer though it was tempting!
but the image Q of the unit impinged on me [not the optics - worst optics - one can fathom]

i have NOT tried yet the HMZ but knida curious.
But the usd$799 is on the high side for me to spend .

Currently the competition is between HMZ and st1080 only[same price].

HMZ reviews say it 's very specific to shape and size of head contours and eye pupil distance so different ppl have different opinion about the same .

i know it's wrong to compare something worth a usd$149 to another almost five times the price of it.
oleds are the best compared to any LCoS based unit - that i know.

Now if someone has both Headplay and sony HMZ - which one is the WORST (from optics point of view) Headplay or HMZ ?

Mirror's Edge on HMZ-T1 with Stereo3D. Easily the best gaming experience I've ever had. Nothing even comes close. The closest I've ever gotton to VR. Can't wait till Valve makes a HL game with the same principles. Hope id doesn't wait for valve to do it first this time. This is the future of the first person genre (not talking about the jumping etc). A good fps (from Valve or id) with Mirror's Edge style first person perspective and dynamics, in stereo3D, with a HMD is what I've been waiting for all my life

Even without head tracking, this is gaming nirvana.

Here's an update on changing the AC --> DC transformer to DC --> DC converter. The input accept 9v to 30v and the output is constant 5.62v. I'm using Dimension Engineering 25W Step down adjustable switching regulator. The voltage adjustment is very simple with this unit to get the right voltage reading. The knob is not too sensitive so you can make minute adjustment.

I love those Dimension Engineering components. They work great.

Nice work! I have to motivate myself to start working on mine again

Check out if you can the Sony Outlet Stores that have Refurbished HMZ-T1 units for $399!

Maybe they can ship one to you
