Turn Your iPhone Into 3D Virtual Reality Goggles?


I knew it. Give you people a perfectly fine SDK, and right away you treat it like bong fodder.

Which is about the only way we can explain design firm BOX FAB's crazy idea for the future of iPhone extensibility, a combination software hack and head-mounting system that supposedly turns the Wonderbrick into a 3D virtual reality display. Says the designer:A Virtual Reality display device which uses the iPhone as the viewing plate so that it becomes a wearable virtual headset simply by clipping on a special attachment. The device can network with other uses for shared virtual experiences and uses the tilt sensor of the iPhone plus a proprietary left-right tracker to provide a truly immersive experience. Special close-view depixelization flat optics turn the iPhone screen into a 3 dimensional window into another world. The under $200.00 design provides the functionality of devices costing thousands of dollars more.

Further bong theory evidence: One of their other ideas would turn your iPhone into the equivalent of those laser light shows that allowed Pink Floyd took over the planetarium business in the 1980s.
