Olympus' Headmounted Display

An anonymous coward noted that Olympus has a head mounted cam up. The resolution looks like its still to low for computer stuffs, but might work for TV. It looks like its already available, but no price is listed.

"yeah, but there are those of us who don't buy Sony products because of the war crimes they committed in WWII. They forced chinese and korean slaves to work for them until they died. I will pay a few bucks more to protest their immoral past."

I have to wonder how consistant you are with this line. Do you think the cigarette companies have been immoral in their disinformation, and if so do you refused to by from the numerous food products they output? You are aware of Goodyear's involvement in the Vietnam war and the lives that were lost as a result, right? Are these on your list? I can find quite a few more, this is just for brevity's sake...

I'm not challening your thought process here, just your ability to pull it off.

Actually, I take that back - I do question this logic. How do you discern between a company that isn't killing people because they've become enlightened and responsible and those that don't just because it's not nessesary or politically expedient? God, I hate to sound PC but this sounds awful Eurocentric.

Um, price is listed. $549 for the low end model, $949 for the high end. So really, nothing amazing compared to Sony's.

Guess they're worried about parental lawsuits... "studies show that pr0n is 67% more corrupting when viewed on an immersive virtual 52-inch screen"
