The higher resolution one is all I'm waiting for before I pull the trigger and buy one. I want to use this when I'm in bed. My girlfriend will be able to sleep without the light from the computer screen bothering her. I'll probably also be able to switch to using my Kinesis Advantage keyboard as well since I will no longer be married to the laptop because of the screen.



I have the developer prototype and I am hugely excited for the short term gaming and entertainment potential.

However, as a working device, something needs to be solved to reduce eye strain.

After using it for 5-10 minutes, I feel like I've been in A Clockwork Orange. My eyes are spread wide and incredibly tired after that short period of time.

Until you try it, it's hard to explain how close the lenses are to your eyeballs. I accidentally poked my wife in the eye by adjusting the distance improperly.

I'm all for the idea of something like this for long term work, but I believe a different approach will need to be taken, or a significant amount of work needs to be done to make it sustainable for 2-4 hour long shifts.
