[Wear-Hard] My covert hmd

[Olli Markkanen]

Thank you for that beamsplitter page, cheapest I've found, other than that
Khet one, has been over 60$.

I'm not going for that 16degree thing, at least yet.I know about that
lighting problem with see-througs, but I could add something that darkens
the glasses where I see the display.

Did you cut off the other display or something? I still have it hanging from
the pendant. I just wrapped it's wire and protected the display with
something. I don't currently have an os installed on my beagleboard, so I
haven't had it it actual use yet while it has been ready. Just seen the
colored testscreen. I have tried it when I had the os and the crystal was
not broken yet yet though.
