But they aren't the reason he can wear a t-shirt in December.

Not much information in this video. What does the image in the glasses look like and how are they connecting to the box?

I bought a pair of these when they first came out hoping I could use them for FPV but the only only way to input video to the glasses was from the Android box it comes with. There was no other video input so I sent them back.

what about having another cheap camera $20, (at the ground), fixed on head, eventually with 180 FOV (more than human eyes :-)  ...) and mix the video signal from ground with the video from FPV?

You can also have a video switch ($12) to select which video you want to see (FPV or environmental), or using a video mixer, you can set the signal/contrast for each camera.

usually when I fly FPV I don't want to have to any reference from the surroundings, which can confuse me (except the sound). Imagine you want to fly "nose in" and you see an obstacol (a tree) between you and your model, on both view, one coming, one (same) going..., but in reality is only one object. Confusing for me.

I wonder what it is like flying with an image through image setup. I dislike taking my eye off the quad at all and use a monocle setup for framing. I always takeoff and land without the glasses on.

I don't believe Epson has released the board which allows a composite video signal to be plugged into the Moverio goggles. Out of the box, the goggles do not have any ability to accept an external video signal, which this useless video really should have mentioned.

Even if you had the board that accepts a composite signal, I have no idea if the Android computer is able to overlay information ontop of the video feed. If not then part of the cost of the Moverio goggles is for a superfulous computer enclosed in a usless touch pad unit. That said, if it is able to overlay information these goggles could be a deadly FPV combo, especially if you are able to plug a 3DR radio into the USB port and have a ArduCAM/minimOSD-extras esque app that parses the MAVLink data to creat an overlay.

Also, I wonder how well these Googles actually work. Would it be the perfect combonation of LOS flying and your FPV feed or would they be more a compromised view of both? If the latter, I think I'm personally still far more interested in something like the PirateEye monacular goggles for AP work.

Adjustable transparency on the fly, that would make it more interesting to me.
