anyone tried any of the vision glasses that you wear and get up to a virtual 52" screen. Over 40 years ago, some TV repair guy told me that this was the wave of the future...is the future now....any product recommendations?

thanks a bunch and happy holidays...

    See them for sale all the time being offered in the Sky Magazines, wondering what they are like as well. I've never seen them in a store so a demo would be nice if possible. Hope someone can chime in.

    They sell something like this at best buy. I read some reviews on them in a HT magazine (cant remember which one off the top of my head) but they were all given pretty decent reviews. Then again ya never know.

    I had been looking at these for a Xmas present for son. Does the iPod have a special video output, or could something like this be hooked up with any video output (composite).....maybe they can be demoed at a local Brookstone...never thought their products were of high quality....reviews seem good tho....I suppose you get what you pay for...
