Another popped in cartoon characters...
...EYE CANDY Want to swap that tired old computer monitor for a pair of virtual goggles? Now you can afford to. This binocular headset from Colorado MicroDisplay and Daeyang E&C was one of the stars of the show. It offers SVGA-quality graphics and feels about as heavy as a pair of regular glasses. The price tag is pretty light too, a relatively meager $800. You won't be able to see your boss walk in, but he won't be able to see you playing games, either. LOOK, MA!
