Sure the resolution is low as hell and the FOV skimpy, but its great for watching stuff on the iPod. I use it to watch anime while I ride my exercise bike. If I didn't have it riding would be boring as hell. I also use it in bed sometimes. But if I don't need the portability then I would much rather just watch something on the TV. However, if all you want is something to watch movies in privacy then just spend $200 and get the Wrap 310. LCD quality is poor, I admit, but for the price its not a bad deal. I guarantee if you spend $1000+ on something from VRealities you will just be disappointed. Most of those HMDs are still in the 35 degree FOV range, not much better than the VR920 or the chinese clones.

Pal - if you are talking about "made-for-ipod" HMDs then i must tell you I-cine Hi-res is the best !
1)Huge screen i think it's 32 degrees NOT 35 degree as claimed by vrealities
2)colors just ok [ read NOT vibrant ]
3)subtitles look extremely crisp
4)usb powered
5)VGA resolution [NOT 800x600 as claimed by vrealities]
6)2D monoscopic and very light weight and durable too
now i try to compare every other vrealities product to this viz-a-viz image size...[Huge screen]
even i have to 'zoom out' to make the image small as it occupies complete sight of view within the HMD and strains the eyes.(You guys talk about fov >60 i guess the image will go out-of-view from all four sides and if real close - you may have to get eyes examined for any defects arising...seriously so there goes my craze for fov>32)
a little more sharpness with vibrant colors if added to above and it becomes my dream HMD................seriously - minus 3D and computer connectivity (which i do not care much about for now)
it's best for ipod and vrealities although overstate it's specs [it's real specs are here : [
http://www.oriscape.com.cn/en/products. ... 262&id=150] but they are definitely right that it's the best for movies from ipod and portables at least they are not asking US10k or some crap like that..
As you can see the specs by Vrealities is a bit exaggerated so i doubt their rest of their product's specs...
hence i keep coming back here to check if anybody tried their aforementioned products..
theie is another product "I-trek 3D PC review" here :

i think we'd have a thread for all tested vrealities products for everybody's understanding...if admins allow
currently in two minds regd Virtual visor(

but the screen size/specs is suspect.........compare it yourself and you will see the point - i am trying to make!
And a dream HMD here at US$10k :
