The z800 is a decent VR head mounted display. I paid $900 for mine and now they've dropped the price to $549.
http://www.emagin.com/index.php The buzz on emagin forums is that emagin will be releasing a z1280 this summer, with resolution of 1280x1024. Sweet. _____________________

It does work with SL. I used mine till I got bored with it.
It's not perfect. The resolution is a bit low at 800x600. The optics arent the clearest, some text is hard to read and focus is an issue. The headtracking is a bit slow and kludgy. The built in mic is a bit muffled. The earbuds tend to fall out of your ears. It's a bit nose-heavy. It's an "almost there" product. If you have $549 to blow, it's a neat toy. I'd wait and see how the z1280 turns out. _____________________
