"great start dude , im unsure about the hanging cords though , work on a pod system where its all neatly packed in and instead of using a spring or gunpowder (as fun as that sounds) try a smaller draw chute to pull the bigger one out "

"If you can get some USB video capture device up and running, it should yes. The required task is not very demanding. Just take the video buffer, and scale it to fit being shown twice side-by-side on the HDMI output."

"Dude, the Epson's Moverio is very intriguing to say the least. Fatshark's make zero sense to me for flying a copter. Sounds like Moverio does not have a video input by default. That said, Epson has shown a board that will let you input…"

"Not sure anyone noticed this but the video feed not only has to be stereo but it also has to be warped for the lens to give you that 110 fov.  I pledged too but I'm hoping someone can come up with a filter system through a computer to…"

"I signed up for a pair figuring that if it's awesome I will sell off the FatSharks, and if it sucks I'll sell off the dev kit. Of course, what will actually happen is that I'll keep both :D"

"The sound good, but there's no AV input, so you'd have to convert your FPV receiver's signal to HDMI some how. Also the head tracking is designed to connect to a PC, not an RC controller, so there might be a fair amount of hacking to…"
