Avegant Glyph looks like VR but is really a head-mounted movie screen

2016-03-03
headphones for your face avec on glyph isn't a VR headset it's a head-mounted display you can plug it into your phone or a game console or your tablet you can wear it anywhere you can watch movies on your face glyph is like a giant pair of good sounding headphones but with tiny projectors inside the headband that beam images directly into your eyes flip them down and suddenly you're watching TV the 720p display is super bright and it looks like a tiny movie theater you can adjust the view with focus tiles change eye distance and you can swap the nose bridge for the best fit a lot of knobs and a lot of dials even so the glyph is also a little hard to get a perfect fit with and it's weird to use while in motion it made me totally sick in a cab and it's $700 basically the price of a VR headset this is mostly good for looking at the things you'd normally be looking at while you're looking at your phone but now it's on your face instead at least you can see around you while you're wearing them enough to grab a drink without taking them off so you can wear them all day or until the battery dies after 4 hours of playback you can use glyph to play 3d content to sort of or use head tracking to control 360-degree videos and even drones but that stuff's not fully up to snuff yet in this early adopter version we'll try that next time glyph is one more thing to wear on your face but it's probably one thing too many for most you
