This is from the Goggle Innovations Feb 2006 piece qv.

Goggle monitors will initially enable a mobile user experience that approximates a 37-inch TV or computer screen at eight feet with stereo audio. The innovation is the integration of tiny monitors into special-purpose goggles delivering stereoscopic vision. The result is a monitor that looks good, appears much larger than a small screen on a portable device, and doesn?t cause headaches or disorientation.

&#160;

There are several vendors poised to deliver such monitors including &#160;<b>MicroModule and iCUITY</b> , both of which are involved with government research for head-mounted displays. The new goggle monitors will be available in 2006 on some cell phones and media players such as the iPod. The goggles will retail for $200 to $500 per set depending on picture quality, screen size and features. Besides portability and ergonomic benefits, the goggle will enable private viewing. Prepare for a new era of content viewing on the go, thanks in some part to Uncle Sam.
