I should get one and run a virtual Boy emulator on it.

It's pretty cool. Not exactly immersive, since you see a rectangular screen in front of you.

I also tried another brand in '99 that was in true 3D. That was pretty cool! And it worked via Direct3D so just about any game would work.

I was using IGlasses tonight... there is a thread about it in Everything Else.

Can't find the thread. Did a search on all forums for "IGlasses" and only turned up this thread and one in the main forum talking about "PlexIGlasses". Got a link?
