Imagine one of those mounted to a visor / helmet + track IR in a Simulation racer or Flight Simulator.
They are already using Oled screens on HMDs, they're pretty expensive though. Well, I think Carl Zeiss has a somewhat affordable model, at $500, and they're coming with a new HD set (720p) that should sell at about the same price.
Basically, there was no indication that the screens our gaze was fixed upon were less than an inch across. The sharp picture combined with the system's head tracking -- which let us look around while taking turns and weaving through traffic -- to create quite an immersive experience. Of course, it still looked like a game, but there's a pixel packed 2048 x 1536 panel in the works that the company claims can deliver visuals nigh-indistinguishable from the real world. We were told that prototypes of these QXGA screens will be ready in ten months, and they'll be suitable for public consumption in a year. So, the real question is: will your eyeballs be prepared to handle such prodigious pixel density by then?
WRT the OLED displays:
Mitsubishi introduce that the company has installed a six meter OLED globe at the national Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation in Tokyo.
The OLED "Geo-Cosmos" display will be unveiled at the museum as the world's first large-scale spherical OLED screen on June 11.
The globe features 10.362 PMOLED panels, each measuring 96x96 millimeters. Mitsubishi Electric used its scalable OLED technologies to create the globe, which replaces a globe comprising light emitting diodes (LEDs) to commemorate the museum's 10th anniversary. The globe will display scenes of clouds and other visions of the earth taken from a meteorological satellite. Projections will feature resolution of more than 10 million pixels, ...
