Hi,

I've played around with the VR920 - and have used it with WinCoot using GlovePIE for head tracking. It's fun to fly round your protein but the screen judder(?) hurts your brain after a few minutes (low quality accelerometers?). There are people developing Linux drivers; you can contact these folks via the VR920 forum hosted by Vuzix. I've currently no access to a Linux box with stereographics, so can't say for sure whether the Nvidia drivers work or not, but according to the Vuzix website the HMD uses DirectX 9 for 3D so it probably won't. I hope the Linux hack is available soon!

I agree with you, and think that the old LCD-shutter glasses are better (so long as you have the monitor for it). However, the more expensive Z800 supposedly offers a more pleasant VR experience.

AGS
