The thing i noticed from others reactions while wearing a; military IR Bino/Mono '4"cyclops/lens' hmd (not forgetting,, it was HoloWnNite), was the great enthusiasm everyone showed in knowing what it was, what did it do, 'can i see?', etc. No one was put off, laughed or feared it. Most wanted to look through it, furtunately for its WC design goal of screen sharing (a reason for this post). It could very quckly un clip and hand over. This was very convenient in helping them to get an empiricel reality check of the "bright (green)sunny day", but then my 'costume' gave them their moment, seeing my see thru floating 3D eye ball shades peering out from the remaining 6head straps & lens mt frame blinders). Now on an average nite the IRhmd reception may be different,, i may soon see, but then i won't be wearing the (tight) 60s Mercury nasa training suit top which complemented the IRhmd for last nite. I was surprized how many people used the name 'cyborg' though. .02 tris P. Ju wrote: > Hey all, > > My partner and I went to a halloween party and a dance club in our borg > outfits.
