   Hmm.. I tried out the Virtuality game at the Chelsea/Odean Theater
   in NYC, and I didn't have any problem getting a 3d effect from the HMD

   Could be.. it's kinda like getting used to viewing stereo pairs

   when I first put on the hmd, but besides that ( and the tendecy 
   for them to droop down a bit) they seemed comfortable.
