22Moo intros SeepuStar DV230 video goggles

There's certainly no shortage of low-res video goggles on the market, but Australia's 22Moo seems to think there's room for just one more (they must know something we don't), bolstering its own lineup with the SeepuStar DV230 wearable display -- apparently, coming courtesy of OEM manufacturer Icuiti. While 22Moo's holding back on most of the specs for now, they do say that the Seepustars will give you a virtual 35-inch screen and can be used with just about anything with video out -- just don't be too disappointed if your brand new PS3 looks more like a PS1 after you hook it up to a pair of these. At least, we're guessing -- $250 will only buy you so much resolution. Look for these to be available later this month.

More info on 22moo's page on the dv230. As Donald suspected, they're pretty low-res: 320x240.

I remember a few months ago some company from california was doing prototype testing on the street and filming interviews with people using their "video goggles". Their unit had been dropped and they said it was overheating so it took a while for them to get the thing up and running. Before I tried it I asked if it was HD, the guy told me it was 720p, but by looking at the menu system, the non-widescreen aspect ratio display in them, and the video they showed me couldnt have been any better than 320x240, I could tell the guy was full of it.

Silly Australian companies making the rest of Australia look slightly backwards (I have a monitor with higher than 320*240 res!!! :p).

Anyone who's tried on a set of video goggles with 320x240 resolution can tell you that it looks like crap. You've gotta have mighty low expectations to enjoy them.

I'm interested in getting a pair of goggles from the 22moo company. I want to use them on my mini digital video camera (US SONY). The purpose is because I hoist the camera on a monopod about 5 feet in the air to film basketball games, when I'm at a lower level. (not all gyms have nice bleachers.) I thought the goggles would prevent me from having to look though the 2.7" view finder at 5feet above me. From reading the posts here I'm probably better off buying a small monitor or this video capture cable (http://www.usbgear.com/USBG-VD201.html) to hook up to my pc.

Any one out there ever try something like this and how it might work? I'm just trying to figure out logistics, like where to put things and how well I can use something like this.

Thanks
