Exciting news! Just yesterday I was watching John Carmack's interview from 2011's QuakeCon and at the end he mentioned that he was going to soon start playing with display glasses to see if anything interesting would come out of it (for id, I imagine).

Driverless car, now digital glasses. I'm positively impressed that Google keeps pushing the envelope in all these different fields.

"""A HMD without head tracking is counter-productive – the view feels like it swims opposite every tiny head motion."""

This guy knows his pixels. :-) Tweet was just this week, I believe. He's had a few others w.r.t. head tracking, FOV / display issues with fancy new displays. Definitely interesting to see his challenges.


That's awesome, really exciting to know that he actually started experimenting with the tech.
