Re: Not OT! Laptop loopers--combatting glare when playing outside

["Krispen Hartung" <khartung@cableone.net>]

Well, we could always play inside small tents, and peep our heads out to 
see 
the audience when we're not looking at our computer screens or foot 
controllers. :)

Seriously, though, that Hoodman contraption you sent in the URL is great. 
Before I saw that, I was thinking that someone needs to invent  the 
"Laptop 
Bonnet"....similar to when I take my 16 month old twins for a walk in the 
morning with their double-wide stroller...they have these bonnets that 
roll 
over them to block the sun. Their car seats have them too.  And I think 
the 
Hoodman might even be a bit extreme..just to top and sides may suffice, 
just 
like a stroller bonnet.

I was thinking, what is the viser technology like these days for viewing 
computer screen? I recall seeing some viser glasses you could where that 
would take the place of your computer monitor....that would be really 
futuristic.
