| Interesting! Regarding authenticity of the picture, it does look like a VR920 but with different ear plugs. I guess that would be hard to fake. I think it would be strange though for an authentic picture of the unit to turn up before an official products page from Vuzix.
Where did you find that pic and the info? On the main site it's hosted I didnt find anything.
EDIT:
Never mind.  Found it.

It does say it has a 6DOF-tracker alright.
The site it's hosted on looks credible to me. This looks great! |

| Indeed!
I really hope they have added an on/off-switch to the VR1440.
Since it seems they are planning to release the Wrap 920AV this summer (according to their website), I wonder if they are planning to release the VR1440 around the same time, or if is planned for a later release (since they havent made a page on their website for it yet). |

Me too. What about a tilt switch or using the tracking device for on/off? Let's say they are switched off as soon as the glasses are flipped horizontally  for more than 10 seconds (try that with your glasses on!). |

| | Hmm.. still no announcement or any real information on the VR1440.. But if it will be priced the same as currently the vr920 is with better tracking and 800x600 per eye, I would buy it, but not for a higher price.. oh and rethink the VGA connector (so go for HMDI) |

I don't think going on DVI/HDMI will be a good solution, so far VR920 can be used with laptops which almost always have VGA output, but it's rare for notebooks to have even DVI.
And for stationery PC I don't see a problem to use DVI-VGA connector.
P.S. Even eeePC have VGA, and it can be used with VR920, for mobile computing. |

| | True, 6DOF would be amazing. The only downside, though, is that it's still wired. The wire already gets in my way with only 3DOF, let alone 6DOF. D: |
