>with up to 10 hours of use with audio only.

I'll bet it lasts even longer if you turn off the audio too. No one is going to cover their eyes to listen to music.

The photo of a model having her nose crushed by this thing doesn't look promising either.

Any type of pressure on my head I don't like; I bent my headphones out of shape just to reduce the pressure.

55 degree FOV??? Somebody needs to welcome Vuzix to 2010. Perhaps in another 10 years they will almost equal what is readily available today.

have had the previous generation Wrap product from Vuzix, and subsequently a rift DK2...I primarily used both to keep proficient in flight simulators. the screen door effect on the dk2 was unacceptable, even the previous product from Vuzix had better resolution and gauges were easier to read. head tracking was hit n miss on the vuzix and needed constant resetting. The rift may have a bigger field of view but the pixels are hence spread across a larger field of view, hence the screen door.

I now own the vuzix iWear, waiting for improved resolution from second generation rifts/vive/etc. Each product has it's niche markets and for now for flight sim'ing the vuzix is the way to go.

Different Strokes for different folks... and Vuzix, mtbs3d and the like is where P.Lucky really got his start
