I was looking at the version from Vuzix that works with the Ipod,
then I saw they had a video in version. No VGA, just a RCA wire in.
That would work great with the video out of the camera. It is less by
far, and I found a couple on ebay as well. One guy on ebay has a
better image of the headset, that lets you see what all comes with
it. As a note the RCA version was 320X240 on the video.

How is this VR Headset relevent to QTVRs, can you just hook it up
to any laptop or
PC and view the sceen up close, and use it to view a QTVR by
turning your head?
I think that's the idea. You'd be using VGA or TV-out at 1024x768
(don't expect the
clarity of a big screen, it's still only 640x480 pixels effectively).
For interactive QTVR, it might require some extra driver (because
usually those
things come with plug-ins for games, and not for Quicktime). Sure is
a nice idea,
and a lot cheaper than they used to be. Maybe using a video game
construction
software, and the panorama image as background, might be easier than
using QTVR
directly.
I've been looking for something like this for a long time, to use it
as a hands-free
viewfinder if the camera is not easily reachable (e.g. on top of a
pole) since most
"entry" or "prosumer" cameras come with "live video out", and a
bigger DSLR can be
rigged to carry a small video cam module on its viewfinder, but the
"monocular"
clip-on headsets are still at 2000$. I just don't get that...
shouldn't a simple
one-eye viewer be at half the price of that 399$ model? (i even
considered getting
one of those toy "spy r/c cars" and rewiring their cheap headset as a
camera
viewfinder - anyone with further knowledge of that?)
