I hope NVidia supports this new 3D HMD from Sony
  3 / 7    
Well I for one have already asked a Japanese friend to line up and air mail me one of these bad boys. And TrackIR is coming too.

Looking forward to November! Probably still wont be supported by Nvidia then either (kidding, Looks like Andrew is on top of this one!)

I image head tracking will show up in future versions. Tracking has to be very responsive to be worthwhile. Seems like the accelerometer and gyros in my EVO 3D cell phone do the job well, so I can't understand what would make fast head tracking difficult or expensive.

Definitely saving up for this product. There is a Sony Store in my city to try it out.

$800 for a 720P HMD with around 51 degree diagonal FOV is A STEAL. Comparable headsets have previously sold in the $10K-15K range.

Another option that is available except for Track IR is the Razer Hydra, haven't tried it, but it looks like it might be good with this headset.

As far as Gamegun is concerned.....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZuzCpqVZ_c

...he's outputting the gameplay onto two screens in the background which suggests you can input the image into the headset and use the gamegun as a tracking device. You would have to keep it still relative to your body for it work.

And, is it just me or does anyone else get flashbacks to the movie Hackers every time they see a picture of the headset! /woot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':woot:' />

you can also get something called a gyro mouse!

Has anybody noticed there are two ninja's in the emoticons /ninja.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':ninja:' /> /ph34r.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':ph34r:' /> interesting, very interesting /blink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':blink:' />

good idea, overall I don't think its a good idea to pre order,mixed reviews coming in,& really, if it was a succesful product it'd bring new standards and stuff. Look displays nowdays have no standards. DLP is barely good.

Yee of little faith~

It might be premature to pre-order but it certainly has potential. Its a great concept that only lackluster companies attempted.
