Some devices overcome quite a long way to go before are on the market. So we can assume the video helmet Avegant Glyph. He first appeared on the platform Kickstarter in January last year, gaining $ 1.5 million.

Then we saw several primitive prototype of this device. Only now, we have the opportunity to test them on the latest version of this gadget, which should be on sale by the end of this year. Avegant Glyph adjustment this year (unlike fixed-size model we saw at CES).

Dimensions nasal cavities will be changed so that they can fit the size of the majority of users. Lenses something will be covered, so as not to damage your hair if you decide to use video glasses as a headphone jack (which is quite possible).

What is the scope Avegant Glyph? The device goes beyond the dividing devices for different groups and categories. There are other smart glasses / hats, for example, Fat Shark and Zeiss Cinemizer.

There is a large number of gadgets with the option of augmented reality. Glyph is somewhere in the middle. You can connect it to the HDMI video source and enjoy watching movies. The device can provide a viewing angle of 360 degrees to view the photos, the photosphere and of course video.

Instead of a small LCD / OLED display here are used projection technology. This means that the image is translated into your eyes and effectively removes pixels. As a result, you get amazingly clear image.

The field of view is only 45 degrees, although it is enough movies. If you want to see something more exciting, you should wait a little longer: the company is working to improve the device.

Perhaps the main problem Glyph could be his strange shape. The device is more like headphones worn on the eye than glasses. Causes great discomfort nasal cavities, which are still hampered fully enjoy the process.

The cost is $ 600 gadget.

While some have described as Avegant Glyph headphones function of immersion in virtual reality, we think that this is an important mark on the development of such technologies. Oculus Rift, which journalists at the show decided to experience for yourself, not something that would completely, but significantly different from what the Avegant Glyph. It’s really a movie theater on the head with all the modern features and picture quality.

Avegant Glyph was first introduced in his first form another exhibition CES-2014, and it was hard to imagine what it will undergo changes in the future, which in January became a reality, and now even a little becomes the past. System for ensuring food has been completely revised in the direction of efficiency and ergonomics of the device. Despite the enormous size of both the headphones (you can see for yourself, looking at the photo), the mass of this miracle of technology raises cries of bewilderment and causes the eyes to take a perfectly round shape – incredibly light kit in addition to its functions will surprise its ease of use of any user who can afford it allow.

While virtually real-Oculus Rift is designed to shield you from the world around, creating the illusion that you were supposedly somewhere else, Glyph allows you to see above and below the panel to get an idea of what is going to happen around you.

As for the positive aspects, such a configuration allows you to do things such as drinking during use of bottles, cups, jars – anything, and you can read text messages directly without removing the headphones-visor. As regards deficiencies that any unique were detected, except for the characteristic such technical devices.

Impressions, of course, from the use of such a device someone may seem contradictory, because the dive fully into virtual reality does not work, because at any moment it will be possible to focus on what is happening around them. This is more like watching a movie projected on the background in the face of the real picture. For introverts who do not like to see how others view them, the news is not a pleasant one, because using such an accessory every now and then it will be possible to catch the surprised looks of onlookers. Some people do not like this, someone is parallel to, and someone is flattered by the attention, so it can take into account this fact, if you suddenly want to order itself.
