If you get 2 small colour LCD screens, 2 magnifying glasses, a helmet, some
sello tape and trackir you can make your own head mounted display.

couple it with a dual head nvidia card outputting true 3d stereo (separate
left right eye images through each output) and youve got the worlds most
advanced monitor for computer gaming. Trully immersive gaming.

cool!

the technology is here now, the 3d stereo works really really well (ive only
used it in anaglyph and lcd shuttered modes, but im reliably informed that
the nv cards dual headed stereo modes work really well using polarisation on
a single screen or 2 monitors offset too - small jump from there to 2 lcds
in front of your eyes). If only someone would produce a hires HMD with head
tracking a la Track IR for consumers that didnt cost stupid money.
