Android Phone Turned Into Virtual Reality Goggles

But what if you could build your own virtual reality goggles without having to spend a fortune? Using an HTC Magic and Google Street View, Recombu.com made a simple pair of virtual reality goggles that let you immerse yourself in distant locations. As the article points out, you can also use these goggles with augmented reality apps — although you probably don't want to walk around with them all day long."

it's a very ugly word. Its only redeeming quality is that it fucks with the easily offended. When it's used for such a good purpose, it's not really so ugly after all.

It's like Slashdot is parodying itself by posting this. That, or it didn't meet it's daily quota of articles on Android.
