It's only that price because it's not mass produced. The actual tech has been in use for at least 2 decades. As for it being rejected by the market etc, the 'market' has never seen one. How many engineers do you know who have looked through a personal HUD? And I don't mean one of those ludicrous lo-res helmets. Let alone normal people who are supposedly doing the rejecting.

I deliberately chose to use both an apostrophe and an "s" just to see how he critiques it. Like reasonable persons need this crap.
I read in sci.electronics.design that martin griffith wrote (in ) about 'More Greengrocers' apostrophes was Re: The future of displays?', on Fri, 23 Sep 2005:
Herself didn't invent comprehensives, that was the other lot, in the 60s IIRC. Mind you, the Conservatives didn't spend enough central government money on education in the post-WW2 years, but local governments in the south funded academic education pretty well, and I'm personally grateful for that.

Well, as far as haircare goes, this particular gentleman didn't see to worry too much about it, and look at his fame now... :-)
Even in his younger years his hair was getting away from him, though in this shot it's under control:
Perhaps had Philo T. Farnsworth invented the television 30 years earlier we'd have a very intelligent anchorman instead of a renowned physicist (and patent clerk) in our history books.... :-) but we'll never know now.
Followups to keep this unruly hair -- erm, thread -- from getting too out of control. ;-)
What universe do you live in? There are ads in the local newspaper every week for 12 volt powered portable TVs. SUVs come with DVD players built in, and some have video input to watch TV.

Both are wrong. The map display in modern cars is in full view of the vehicle operator.
It is up to the operator of a vehicle to ensure that control of the vehicle is maintained at all times in which the vehicle is in motion.
Nothing circumvents that responsibility. Ther are also in dash DVD players that pop up a screen at power up.

Hi, well they are here, lemme see if I can find back the link from last week: Well, cannot find it, (was around 1000$) but like this you will like:

Ah found it:
Just saw in half for one eye perhaps .. :-) When price comes down I will try.
Never heard of sarcasm eh?
The device I used 15yrs ago was about as big as my thumb with the nail placed in front of my eye. There was no bulky headset.
Of course, but there is so much of it around here that its become quite pointless.

Hey, Jan, do you suppose you could figure out a way to insert, say, a blank line, to separate your respons from whatever you're responding to?
Thanks, Rich
Michael, you don't pay attention to threads too good, do you? It must be that cerebral ossification - same affliction as - well, you know who the victims of cerebral ossification are - my point being, that I made a sarcastic comment about head-up displays being as prolific as cell phones, speculating that someone in the head-up display business might actually _think_ about the consequences of someone using their product while driving, i.e., mayhem; I stated that AFAIK, it's illegal for the driver of a car to watch TV while driving, then Dirk rejoindered with, "So, that's why portable TVs are illegal?"
Touche'.
You need to let some of the calcite loose from your brain, so you can have a little flexibility here. Some of us, when we say insanely stupid stuff, are actually, JOKING!!!!!
Get a sense of humor.
But don't lighten up on you-know-who - he needs a prod in the [side] from time to time, to keep him on his toes. ;-)
Cheers! Rich
Relative to what?
Thanks, Rich

No. It was mono at IIRC 720x320 or something like that. One of the old wierd VGA standards. I think it used LEDs

More likely "hercules" at 720 x 480. Neither rate is among the vga spec, however. So it must be hercules.

Oh yeah! I still have a bare tube that I used for two years on my
286! 12" dia., cardboard "frame", and a simple 12 volt power requisite. It still works in any PC that has an ISA slot in it.It was used for CAD apps in the early days on VAX/VMS stations.
Very hi res as it was vector scanned IIRC. My little mono video/serial port card was all it took!
720 x 480 was very high res back then. The drawback was that it was monochrome! Darn!I developed database apps with that box. Not many CAD apps for low budget dudes back then for DOS. Computers are cool.

That's it. Quite hires for the time.
