I’ve sacrificed my ski mask so that I could mount my Vuzix VR 920 in it. It took me one hour.
This has two great advantages :
– it completely occludes the real world, which is good for presence,
– it can be tightly adjusted to fit on your head and is quite comfortable.
Before covering it :
After covering it :
Some disadvantages :
– it’s less practical for people with glasses,
– it’s less hygienic,
– less heat dissipation which caused the HMD to fail a few times during Laval Virtual
We used it heavily during the Laval Virtual tradeshow (review coming soon..) and are very happy with the result !
You can disassemble VR920, drill holes in it’s shell for better air ventilation, and even attach small cooler there, on battery or USB. Just guessing solution to overheat 🙂
By the way Vuzix new “Wrap” model seems to me heats so much less!
Indeed I could do that 🙂
We also have a lot of other ideas to improve the hmd !!
