Russian goggles let you wander The Matrix
Totally pointless, and more an art project than anything else, these Russian-made goggles filter the real world electronically and make it look like some crude digital simulacrum … or the worst acid trip anyone ever had. They’d have cleaned up if they’d been renting these out at Burning Man. [William Gibson] [Image by Don_Gato]

You know, these would actually be cool if they supported binocular vision. It looks like there’s only the one camera in the front, displaying to (probably) separate video screens. If they’d use two cameras to simulate normal vision, then run the same filters on different perspectives, it could get interesting.
