Aug 27th 2008 1:38PM Accelerometers are pretty crappy for tracking location long-term, so most likely it's only used in the case of temporary signal loss.
The problem comes from the fact that they only give you acceleration, not absolute velocity or position. Thus small errors over a period of time add up, until your data is essentially worthless.

Is there some way to subscribe to a RSS feed that only has the real hacks, and not the fluff added to try and get more pageviews/adviews/money?
Consumer HMD comparison {Hack a Day}
Jun 8th 2008 2:29AM eraser: the point is they are supposed to use optics to make it appear that you are focusing on something that's in the distance, so in theory it's not like you are focusing on something close at all. and you can definately see higher resolution than 640x480, otherwise why would monitors have higher res, when they are much further away from your face than the goggles?

May 30th 2008 6:30PM I'm confused...why is this posted on hackaday? I come here for neat hardware/software homebrew/hacks/etc. I could care less about legal action against some random pirate stealing some random album.
