In the October 31 issue of Infoworld, there was an article in the new "Impressions"
section about the "Private Eye", not yet sold by Reflection Technology.  This is a
monocular eyepiece that displays "near-Hercules" resolution.  They are claiming that
they want to sell the device for under $100.  It is only monochrome now, but it seems
to me that the same idea could be adapted for use with color, and expanded to 
handle stereo vision.
