Many of you may remember this: http://pmc.la/i8uv4
If not, go read the first post.

Many of you have been asking me about what has happened to the project. As the forums are down and so is the wiki (after a huge spam attack) I have been busy working on hardware and software, and have created a much better 'Mark Two' prototype. It's better built, actually stays on your head surprisingly well and is lighter. So here, take some nice pictures taken from a pool table.

Photos
Side view

Top view with internals

Really disproportionate front view (does not actually look like this)

Inside


Later, I will do some MORE videos of the GameGlass Mark Two streaming some intense games like CS:GO, and some less intense games like Euro Truck Simulator 2. If you haven't seen already, there are 2 videos of TF2 and Minecraft being streamed on the original prototype.

Videos

The highest cost is the display, which applies to just about everything every with a screen in it. But yeah, maybe an ultra budget Zero model?

Soon™. However, if you can build the headset yourself, I can get you a beta tester position now.

I'm wondering that also but OP is inactive.

I'm silently working behind the scenes, and I do check this post every day, I just don't really have much to say. Same old, same old really.

Wow! Does this cause headaches? I'm not entirely sure if I should get it, I'm not a big fan of having a screen stuck in front of my face.

Also, if I get this right, you don't have to hook it up to a PC or anything else?

It doesn't give me headaches after prolonged usage (you shouldn't spend more than 15 minute gaming blocks with a 3DS or any other games machine but who the hell reads the photosensitive epilepsy warnings?) and I'm really sensitive to that kinda thing. It IS a standalone PC, because it has onboard processing and graphics, etc.

If controllers are gonna be used, a DualShock 4 is more likely as they use Bluetooth and don't need extra adapters. However, any wired controller or KB+M should work out of the box and if it has a wireless reciever you can plug it in and make it wireless as the GameGlass will have 2 free USB ports.

It's cheaper than all the current gen consoles and a gaming PC. It's also not final - prices may fall.

Just curious, what's the purpose of the headset, other than, you know, putting a see through screen right in front of your face? What are its advantages to just playing games normally?

It's portable, so you can play your PC games anywhere, and I am adding accererometers and gyroscopes later to add another layer to the games, so control it over head movement. That, or kinect like motion control.

It's just the Minecraft Pi edition from Mojang. If you want the full PC minecraft you can stream it.

Is this motion tracking? meaning if you look to the left, in the game it moves left? (Basically like the Oculus Rift)

Yes, I am hoping to add a gyroscope/accelerometer
projex475is this still going? what os would it be based on? I could make games for this alone if I knew the os

It is still an active project, based on the Raspian Jessie (Debian Linux) OS.
projex475Well I'll get to work ssap expect a optimized minecraft xD

No need to make one, it already exists.

WOOT WOOT! The GameGlass is now totally wireless! I have aquired a 200mAh battery at 5v 2.1A which is light and can be recharged. This means the GameGlass is now completely remote and wireless! The charging port will be at the rear of the device.

WOO MKIII!

Sorry for the wait. Blems happened. Pro-blems. Like remaking the entire UI to fit a new screen resolution and issues with Moonlight streaming, and running out of glue

Here are some pics!

Click to reveal







What's new?
- New low power draw display
- totally removable visor
- New visor design
- Totally new frame and more comfortable headrest

Still to come:
- Power supply (next update)
- Bluetooth and WiFi (next update)

Someone is editing a video of the MKIII right now. It is the headste playing Just Cause 2 with the new Steam UI.
