I have to stop for a month due to real life. I plan on restarting next month. Sorry :(

I want this just so I can say I needed my macro lens to play a video game. It's completely useless but the need is real.

As a physicist I want to see how it's not a pocket deathray

As strange as this might sound I was watching this on a 5.5 inch phone screen and I was getting eye strain. Interesting video, though. That totally qualifies as oddware.

you need 2 of these that you can mount to glasses !BAM retro-modern VR headset! woo!

This reminds me of when those iPod shuffles first came out and they were these iPods with no screen (not even a 1/2" one!) and how I felt like if I had one, I'd just sit on it one day without knowing it and break it. Basically, it reminds me of something unreasonably small that I would sit on. :P Oh well, it looks like a cool project! BTW, I noticed your cassette tapes in the background. You have good taste in music, sir.

ugh this just makes me want to get like, a stool, and an old crt and just... plug in my megadrive and play it old school y'know?

For a few months of my life a long time ago I was living on a boat and in doing so, the TV in my cabin was literally this tiny old 6" colour thing where I had to break out all of my 300 ohm convertors to get my gaming consoles to plug in. A part of me was like, "Dude, I have to play all my games on a tiny 6" screen?" while another part of me was like, "Dude! I get to play all my games on a tiny 6" screen!" XD

I wonder if you can sneak it into class and play video game while the teacher rambles on. I do think there are uses for .5" screen.

Manuel Adrian

This is like dividing by zero.

I know I said I wanted to watch a little TV but... well...

Henrik Andersson

Put one over each eye and do 3D. It must be possible.

Rob Caporetto

That is the most illogical piece of oddware you've covered. Yet it is so ridiculously awesome that it was done, and a totally perfect piece for being shown if you ask me!

This is so absurd and I love it.

Given it's resolution and size, that screen has a pixel density of 1600 PPI! Which is almost 5X the pixel density of the iPhone 6! Take that modern technology!

Lik Chan

Okay, that ending cracked me up with your happy to disappointed face LOL

Lik Chan

Good lord, I'm more impressed with the length of your DSLR lens. O_O

Maximilien Noal

Ha ! :D I wonder if you can play Shadow of the Beast or Alien Breed 3D 2 with that ! :D

You need to make a head band for it and strap it to your face like some weird 80s cyborg! It might actually be useful when viewed at the distance it was intended to be used at haha.

I want it for my MSX, imagine playing Zombie Incident, using DOS, or writing a BASIC program on it! PS: Speaking of odd, I got an Ethernet cartridge for MSX computers. Now I can use FTP/SAMBA/Telnet/Twitter...
