HMDs...

On the whole HMD issue...

1)  I wear glasses.  Horribly thick ones.  I *don't* want any more
    impediments to my vision than I have already.

2)  I don't have $800 to spend.

3)  I think my pilot is keen, but I wish it had a keyboard and a bit more
    'power'...

4)  I think Dick Tracy's wristwatch communicator was keen.

The upshot?  I'm thinking about trying to mount an LCD panel on my wrist
instead of using an HMD.  I don't know much about this sort of hardware (I'd
say I'm a 'hardware newbie'), although I do know a small amount of basic
electronics.

I'm curious if anybody else has tried this, knows how/where cheap LCD panels
can be gotten, etc.  I'm not looking for a huge screen, either.  But even most
6" panels don't look like quite the right form for wrist mounting -- they
aren't 'short' enough...
