I think they make a pretty good and cheap solution, but they certainly won't give you the sense of immersion you'll get from a professional HMD. If you want to see what an HMD with Private Eyes would look like, go pick up a Nintendo "Virtual Boy". It's the same technology. Works fairly well, but if you're looking for a real HMD for cheap, I'd recommend going and looking for one from Virtual i-O, Forte, or VictorMaxx. ---Mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark A.
