"Introducing World's First*1 3D Compatible Head Mounted Display Equipped With HD Organic EL Panel -Offering a new 3D-viewing style with movie theater-class virtual screen experience"
Apparently already released in Japan (?!?!) for just under $800 USD per unit, the unit essentially simulates "an experience similar to viewing a 750-inch screen from 20m away, as well as 5.1 surround sound from headphones integrated into the Head Mounted Display".
What do you think? Would you buy it? And how does this relate within the context of social tv viewing? Generally I watch tv with friends/family and it would be quite awkward to all be wearing individual sets. Instead I find this sort of technology to be the next great thing for gaming. Set this baby up with a body-motion responsive device and gamers will start needing to exercise for their first person shooters. I can see it now, "BF4, brought to you by Gatorade!"
