    hey, if youre gonna pay $3299 for uber-geekdom another 100 or so for another battery isnt going to be a problem.

    Youre like the guy who doesnt want to buy a Porsche because the insurance is 'just too high'.
    If insurance prices is a problem, maybe the car isnt for you.

    It uses a normal LCD display, with a second LCD display in front. Each pixel on the second one has 2 states (solid or transparent), and it blocks light from wither one eye or the other, therefore allowing different pictures to be sent to each eye.
    I believe the downside is you have to double the refresh...
