Kopin and 3001 AD to
Bring Virtual Reality to Xbox, PlayStation and PCs on GameInfoWire (thanks
Mike Martinez) announces virtual reality goggle technology from
3001 AD that looks to fulfill the long
failed promise of better VR for gamers. Here's a bit on the low cost low
resolution future:
Kopin Corp., the largest U.S. manufacturer of microdisplays for mobile consumer electronics, today announced that virtual reality gaming developer 3001 AD, LLC has incorporated the BDM-230K into its Trimersion virtual reality system, which for the first time will bring virtual reality gaming to the Microsoft Xbox, Sony PlayStation and PCs. 3001 AD unveiled Trimersion last month at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), the world's largest gaming exposition.
Trimersion brings full immersion and 360-degree head tracking to home gaming, and is the only system to deliver high-quality, cross-platform virtual reality for this market. The Kopin BDM-230K, a complete binocular video subsystem, delivers crisp, full-color, QVGA-quality (320 x 240 resolution) video with a virtual image equivalent to a 35-inch display viewed from a seven-foot distance.
They used to have these at the mall arcade. I remember they were like $12 for 5 min. Thought it was cool at the time (when I was 10), but I also remember a raging headache afterward. I guess staring at something that is 2 inches infront of you might do that.
