Wow, this one is big! Profile looks a bit like a star wars helmet 😉 Did you try it?
“I’m your father, Dom!”
Yes I tried it at Laval Virtual, here’s what I wrote about it :
“Crescent demonstrated their new HMD, the HEWDD-768. The specs are pretty impressive : 120° of full stereoscopy, 2×1280×768. My first impression is that it’s heavy and cumbersome (as you can see on the picture), with less luminosity and sharpness than a LCD or OLED display. It uses retroprojection with a system I didn’t fully understand. But the field of view was impressive, and it doesn’t suffer from the Sensics optics problem. Announced price : 50′000€.
wow. 50k euro. wish I had that to spend on gear.
