but if you turn your head all the way around, how do you know what you're missing on the monitor in front of ya?


I don't.. it takes a bit to get used to but it became more natural over time.  I can turn my head about 15 degrees righ left up or down and see out the back.  I've also programmed my mini stick so I can slide left / right and or zoom forward / backward.

I'm thinking one of these will work well with Track IR

I was almost about to pull the trigger on a set of these (or the Wrap 920's by Vuzix), but the resolution made me delay with the rumors that the Wrap 920's would have HD resolutions.  Turns out the specs changed on release of the Wraps, I guess they couldn't get the cost down enough.

The COOLEST thing I've seen is their "Augmented Reality" line, or AR for short.

They reference use with Autodesk, and I'm sure you can imagine how cool this will be in the future.
