[Wear-Hard] HMD suggestions

[Brian Kuriyama]

Haha I was about to recommend the Crystal too, but I'm more curious as
to what it looks like from the wearers perspective. It seems like you
can view part of your surroundings or something, but I don't know how
much of it. Same with the "Shades" version.

Does anyone know of reviews that detail how much of your surroundings
you can actually see while wearing these?
