Emagin’s Z800 Head Mounted Display

This is ground control to Major Tom, do the stars look very different through that head mounted display? The fellas at SimHQ have just reviewed the Emagin’s Z800 Head Mounted Display today so head on over (rimshot please) to see if they made the grade.

One of the latest attempts at HMD technology is the Emagin Z800 3D Visor. If you have had the chance to view their web site you may have noticed statements like, “Get inside the game,” or, “they like it! they really like it!” That may be the case, but us flight simmers tend to need a lot more than the average gamer when it comes to performance. Let’s face it, in the combat flight genre, situational awareness is the name of the game. So, how does the Z800 work out for a flight nut?
