Video Glasses Display for Just $500

Want to watch video in a pair of glasses, but get a large screen effect? This technology has been around for a while now, but hasn't really gained much traction with portable video fans. You can get a pair with just $500 from multiple vendors.

I wonder -- has anyone tried or owned one of these things? Isn't there a video output on the Dell x50v PPC?? What a neat combination that would be for portable video. Well, as long as no one else needs to see the screen!

Here's a few sites with related products...

I-glasses advertises an 800x600 resolution which looks like a virtual Image size of 70" at 13' away.

"Virtual Vision" seems to make glasses for even a bit less, and are popular with dentists, but I couldn't track down a web site. Maybe they have a new name?
Olympus used to have a model (http://reviews-zdnet.com.com/Olympus...6-6780564.html), but it doesn't seem to be around anymore and may not have worked too well.
