Sometimes you come across a device that is so different and unique that you can’t help but check it out. Such is the case with the Avegant Glyph Video Headset, a device that looks like your average pair of Beats headphones but hides an entire face-mounted portable home entertainment system. No seriously, it’s a home theater on your face. Imagine streaming Netflix or even playing PS4 or Xbox One on a 60-inch TV that’s small enough to fit in your laptop bag. It sounds crazy, but that’s exactly what you can do with the Glyph — and believe it or not, the device doesn’t even have a conventional screen, instead using a complex system of more than 2 million tiny mirrors to display a picture.
Some key details:
- Watch films, play games, and enjoy endless entertainment in HD audio/video on the world’s first mobile personal theater experience
- Connect to almost any smartphone, tablet, drone, or gaming console, at home, on the field, or at 40,000 feet (may require an adapter, sold separately)
- A screenless display – the Glyph reflects light with over two million micro-mirrors, replicating natural human eyesight
- Designed and worn similarly to headphones, a familiar form that goes anywhere with you, delivering rich, high-resolution audio
- Immerse yourself in your favorite content without being completely cut off from your surroundings
The Avegant Glyph Video Headset costs $699.00 on Amazon, and that includes free Prime shipping.
