Sure, the HTC Magic is a nice handset but I bet you never though it’d be used for this — A DIYer has taken HTC’s handset, coupled it with a pair of goggles and a cardbox box to make a pair of virtual reality goggles.

The system relys on Google Street View in the sense that you move your head around and the picture will adjust depending on the position of your head.

Still confused? Check out the above video demonstration and let us know what you think.

Video Goggles

The new generation of video iPods have proven extremely popular. Allowing users to watch video podcasts, hit TV shows, and movies. The disadvantage of these devices is the screen size, they are fine for watching dowloaded YouTube videos that have a relatively short length, but watching an entire movie could be very tiring.Now there is a solution, video goggles that project a virtual 24inch screen.

The goggles plug directly into your iPod, drawing power from it, so no need for additional batteries, they draw so little power that they will happily run from between 2 and 4 hours depending on the size iPod you have them connected to. Of course keep safety in mind when using these, not recommended for when you are our jogging, riding your bike or driving a car!
