no ive not been there but ive hrard of this idea with the clear 3d gogles but only with still picyures. it would be awesom if they made games like that-they can but the glasses in the game case

yeah i watched this thing about real fish in the london imax and i was stunned, In Japan they have this 4D resident evil movie thing and it's supposed to be revolutionary and i wana go, damn this short change in my wallet.

good idea though innit i mean imagine your favourite game in imax using a small TV imax headset.

IMAX is cool, although the 3D "Pirates 4D" at chessingtons is also pretty cool.

Im all for anything that makes games more 3D without being blocky or forcing us to wear RED/GREEN glasses!

All you need is a game or DVD that supports it and a home pair of goggles and hey presto full real life enviroment but wait it's not the same without the big screen, no probs with them olmpus style tv goggles you get the impression that you have a massive screen in front of you. ok rip off the design put imax goggls on em and WOW FULL IMAX 3D GAMING BUDDY!!!

The specs are made by Olympus the Controller has a D pad of some desription and the words "EYE TREK", theres also the "headphone" written at the bottom.

I think this means theyre VR glasses as oppossed to a headset.

Any other deductions from the new big picture guys....If theyre IMAX Goggles then Im there I love IMAX Cinema and to have these on a PS2 well its just superb.

Perhaps they send two different pictures to each eye which can be adjusted by the eye tracker???? Meaning a true 3D experience can be felt like those 3D cinema shows at amusement parks!

These are the ones for use on the Dreamcast:

Currently selling for around £300-£450 depending on where you buy them.

They put a back image in the argos catalogue and the screen was a fraction of the goggles, for that price you can get a nice widscreen tv.

Someone's yet to take up my brilliant idea of IMAX goggles that'd be so sweet.

Maybe its a device that sends subliminal messages straight to your brain like

"Buy another game"

or

"This game is Fun"

or

"Sony Rules"

oh yeah, that olympus thing. that doesnt vibrate though
