Linux Compatibility With VR Goggles?

WorldWarCheese writes "Many's the time I wish I had a little more mobility or comfort with my computer. Laptops are OK, but anyone interested can see right onto my screen; and a laptop doesn't quite have that 'cool' factor that VR goggles / headsets do. The problem is, whenever I've looked at the options, Linux compatibility is not mentioned. Is there a VR headset out there that is compatible with Ubuntu? If not, what could I do to make it compatible, and how feasible would that be?"

Really, just skip the VR goggles all together; Set up your VR Environment, aka holo-deck if you want to akin it to Star-Trek. Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cave_Automatic_Virtual_Environment

Yeah, but at exterior dimensions of around 35'x25'x13', its hardly portable.

Re:Cool == Dorky

And there was a point in time when wireless bluetooth headsets looked dorky. They still do, however they have become somewhat accepted.

If they don't look dorky, they make you look like a self important asshole. Or you might get the best of both worlds and look like a dorky, self-important asshole.
