Propeller Accessories. (If money was no object)

The Propeller is a glimpse into what future computer electronics technology
might look like. (Massive one-chip abilities, requiring little power, and no heat)

Here's some "pricey" Propeller accessories that would point it in that direction.
{Hey, why not spend some of that money you saved buying a $13 chip.}

I-Tech's Virtual Keyboard

Not sure if this is exactly Propeller compatible out of the box, but you can't
help but think "Propeller Accessory" when you see this.

Gotta be a spot a Propeller chip could be put in here..

Video Glasses

Ok, so you might look like a complete tool to wear these,
(or at least a real geek) These have been calling my name
for a while now. (and hey I already look like a real geek.)
Anyone actually try a set of these with a Propeller yet?

    How about Parallax's Quad-Rover ?

    Very nice, but a bit over my price range.

    @Clus - too funny!
    @OBC - Jeff - I actually use video glasses #8 all the time, albeit a different OEM name. I think these are the second best as they are 640x480 and they cost about half as much as listed. Most of the other simple ones are 320x240.

    I'll add a pix of my setup when my kids aren't around reminding me of how much I'm embarrassing them again.... My use is a DIY, self contained wireless video receiver to fly from with video from my RC plane. The Prop generates the video telemetry data, and eventually i'll combine it with the camera video with a Hitt special instead of A - B switching. Meanwhile I just bought the stepper motors and digital compass to auto track with the directional antenna, but alas, these will probably not be helmet mounted.

    I like #1 on the coolbuz.org site. Can you imagine wearing that around on the street?
