You guys are lucky, when I started there was no internet. My first program was written in BASIC on a Commodore PET.

Some interesting posts. In around 3 years we should start seeing decent non-occluded (transparent) HMDs that are a lot less bulky, probably based on OLED but basically a development of existing things. It's at this point that I feel wearables will truly become viable, I just want a head start...

Many thanks :)

If I hadn't already paid for a Pandora then I'd probably go with the Beagleboard, but as it is I see no reason to get one at this stage. Yes I'm going to be limited to TV res in the HMD, but HMD tech isn't really where if needs to be anyway. Having the Pandora available as an input method and...

Could you add ffcall and gforth? You can get the latest gforth here.

Well, I've gone ahead and ordered the parts, so by the time my Pandora arrives I'll have everything, I'll let you know how I get on. I Take the point about Beagleboard but I still really like the Pandora as I'm getting one anyway. I still plan to use my Pandora in my hands as normal, both as a...

I'm thinking of turning my Pandora into the brain of a wearable computer, there's some discussion in this thread about it. In short, I want to outfit a shirt or jacket with a Pandora and a USB hub. Somewhere, possibly on the back of a glove on my left hand I want one of these to use as an input...

In reference to the lack of affordable non-occluded HMDs, it's not ideal but there is an obvious workaround using a webcam mounted on one of the legs of the display. A pen-type webcam that does 640x480 with a mic would be ideal, attached to one of the legs with Velcro strips or similar. It's not...

I've done a bit more digging. It seems that proper non-occluded stuff in my price range is gonna require a hw mod of some sort. I've built a fair few PCs and even soldered a bit but I wouldn't call myself a hardware guy so that's probably out. I'll have to make do without my Pandora when I'm...

0.07 here, and a lot of those have been in the past couple of weeks as my Pandora hysteria reaches a crescendo. Do I win something?

It will make KDE a viable option. This is great news. I want to do something nice for the Pandora team, any suggestions?

Hi all, with the imminent arrival of my Pandora (I love optimism) I'm looking into getting a head mounted display to use with it. This seems to be a bit of a niche area, with many of the best products being out of my price range. I thought I'd ask you guys for advice since there's a lot of...

I'm not a C++ dev so I didn't vote, but if I did it would be for other language bindings. I'm just posting to say that if you produce C bindings (it looks like you might) then it should be pretty trivial for the likes of me to write a wrapper for our language of choice.

I play Daggerfall quite a lot on dosbox on my PC, but it needs at least 8k cycles (more is better). Arena is somewhat less demanding but is still pretty much unplayable at 3k cycles, perhaps if Pandora dosbox gets over 5k cycles one day then Arena might be playable.

There's an Amiga version of UFO: Enemy Unknown that I have played on the GP2X (very slowly). While playing on dosbox may be out (3000 cycles just isn't enough, 8000 might do it) I expect that the Amiga version on Pandora will be playable.

I read it, didn't think much of it. I can see why some people (mostly USians) like it though.

...that I won't make the time to do any of the cool stuff I want to do with it.
