    So they use simple oled displays?
    They are probably just a little beyond the eye's near point... i wonder if it can be good for the eyes focusing at minimum distance all the time.
    plus: the headphones almost certainly suck. There can't be such a thing as good "5.1 surround headphones". Good stereo headphones beat "surround" ones anytime.

    These things have been around for a good while, the defacto standard was the "headplay" goggles, but they're pricey. The sony offering appears to be the first step towards bringing this stuff to the wider market. I'm interested in them from a first-person-view (FPV) RC aircraft perspective.

    Now if only they were 1/3 the price.

    There are usually some kind of lenses so that your eyes are in an relaxed focus.

    <i>First, Sony has optimized the integrated lenses to give users a wide 45-degree view, eliminating much of the borders surrounding the integrated OLED displays. Within the context of Gran Turismo 5, instead of looking at what appears to be a tiny screen at the end of the visor, the HMZ-T1 gives players a much larger, <b>almost wrap-around view of the race track or in-car perspective. </b>

    With dual 720p OLED screens, Sony is also using far more advanced display technology than previous VR-style headsets. Instead of presenting users with a low-resolution, low-fidelity visuals, the HMZ-T1 actually rivals a full-sized HDTV in terms of picture quality. </i>

    If they added head tracking that could be really cool.
    I also have to wounder what it weights, am I going to want that on my head for 3 hours?

    With some webcam technology, you could probably do this easily.
