ParticipantSony have announced a headset which offers the viewer the chance to watch movies or immerse themselves in video games which would be the equivalent of watching a 750″ screen from 20 metres away.
Only problem I can see is that it appears to be a massive step towards the most addictive game system in the whole of the Red Dwarf universe…..Better Than Life!! So addictive that, according to the Red Dwarf novels, it will kill you as you forget you are in a game and starve to death!
Although, to me, it looks very similar to the iPod Cinema hat!!

ParticipantCheck this hands-on review here.
Sounds interesting. Don’t know about this 750″ business, sounds more like 150″…still huge.

KeymasterYeah, but in the 100+” range, Sony has been doing this for a decade already, and it hasn’t caught on to this point. I doubt that HD is really going to be the thing that was missing from destroying your eyesight in style.

ParticipantDid Lister want to be Jimmy Stewart, or did he just want to be friends with Jimmy Stewart? I can’t remember.

ParticipantHe just wanted to live Jimmy Stewart’s life in Bedford Falls…..I think the plan was to kill him. Probably before Clarence earned his wings.

Participantcouple of things.
Quote:The HMZ – which stands for head-mounted display…i guess HMZ is Engrish for HMD?
Quote:The HMZ personal 3D viewer is being targetted at people who prefer solitary entertainment rather than sitting in front of a television with family or friends.okay, so… someone who enjoys “solitary entertainment” can’t find a way to watch TV alone?
Quote:Sony’s latest product is far more sophisticated, delivering an experience that is as immersive as sitting in one of the best seats in a cinema.ummm… no. something that looks like that can’t be called “sophisticated”. and the “best seats in a cinema” have actual surround sound. binaural audio is an “immersive” listening experience. virtual 5.1 just uses phase tricks to make everything just sound weird and hollow.
sorry Sony. it looks like your heart is in the right place but i think i’ll pass on this. with a little more time to develop and refine it, this would be a great 3d gaming peripheral for the PS3.
home gaming (not movies) is the market where 3d could find an actual purpose and thrive.

ParticipantDid you read that review? I thought that it was a piece of shit until I read that the guy was super impressed with the immersion. I’d love to have something like this, simply because I can’t afford a 150″ tv. I’m definitely curious.

KeymasterYeah, after you watch Return of the King on them, let me know how you feel about it taking 3 days for your eyes to adjust to roadsigns, 5 days to recalibrate your balance as you lift that skull hugger off and 7 days for you to realize how to aim away from “immersive electronics” when watching 150″ interracial midget gang bang porn.
Sounds like a lot of adjusting to me, when you could just put your recliner closer to your 55″ TV, and tell everyone else to just fuck off for that 150″ solitary entertainment.

ParticipantThey’re going to sell an extendo-shield as an add-on for that.

KeymasterIt’s got one of those shower curtain attached to a ring shower curtain rod over your head. This sure seems like a lot of work to watch porn on a 150″ screen.
