Nintendo's Virtual Boy wishes it could be as cool as this thing.  The specs say that it's the equivalent of a 62" screen viewed from 9' away and it only weighs 3.2 ounces, but the cool part is the head tracking.  There aren't many games that support it yet, but it certainly looks promising (though the $400 price tag sucks).

Hello, and welcome to the 1990s!

All of those things are bad-ass

I had a pair of Sony glasses like that which I sold on eBay awhile back.  They worked, but were completely impractical.

If it supported more games I'd probably buy one.

Ah the Sony Glasstron. I used to want a pair when I was younger. At least I can still get a great deal on them.   

[Turbo D]

dang, Joe must be rich to have owned those 

[Joe Redifer]

NOt really.  I think I paid close to $100, but they weren't brand new.

This is what I had, the Sony Glasstrons.

None of these has head tracking, which is the only reason that I'd want to buy one.  Thanks for playing, but you can have your two cents back.

There is a headtracker, some of them come with them.

Here is a review from the 90's:

As you can see, there is headtracking instructions.

Crow gets kind of messy, I reccomend you use a spork.

I don't see any head tracking capability mentioned in your original post, other than a separate head tracking device ($2800!).  It and the glasses in your second link are apparently compatible with a sum total of zero games, so I'm afraid that I'm missing your point.  I never meant to imply that this thing is the first device of its kind, but they are the first consumer level product with practical gaming abilities.

Perhaps you'd care for a few bites of crow yourself.  It tastes a bit like chicken.

[Joe Redifer]

Pigeon is far more delicious than crow... but every bit as annoying.

Lets throw some squab on the grill
