Or you can try 2 S3s: http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/Samsung-Galaxy-S-III-vs-Samsung-Galaxy-Note_id3045 ..with 2 screens, you probably want them mounted at an e.g 35 degree angle "to keep the screen height the same around you." ..to move the cell phone screens really close, trim the box to size and play with e.g. 3+ glasses inside the safety goggles, until you have a nicely sized view. ..a good way to find the right strenght glasses, is hold the cell phone screen as close as you want it, you want to be able to see the horizon over the glasses and the cell phone screen thru the glasses at exactly the same time, _without_ wasting time refocusing, or _without_ squinting, you want your view _comfortable_ and _pleasant_, sacrifizing anything here merely adds to the pain when you e.g. crash fpv planes on eye fatigue. ..refocusing wastes a second or so, every time you refocus, not what you want when you e.g. try pick up an fpv plane for a rc-style landing. ..this augmented VR goggle rig idea also works in plexi glass boxes, just copy the marker idea below and "look over the glasses to 'uncover' the plane." http://www.popsci.com/gadgets/article/2010-05/gadgets-timeline-mobile-augmented-reality-system ..the obvious next steps: http://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/fpv-with-the-ar-drone-with-head-up-display http://www.theblaze.com/stories/google-reveals-design-for-virtual-reality-glasses-would-you-wear-them/ -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt Karlsen ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...
