American manufacturers to launch virtual reality glasses like headphones glyph

Sina Science and technology Beijing time January 5 Morning News, American start-up company Avegant is about to launch a virtual reality glasses, which is different from any product on the market. On the one hand, this product does not use the magnifying screen technology like Oculus and Samsung, but uses the retina projection technology to project the screen directly into the user's eyes.

Avegant's technology originated in the 80 's, but is rarely used in consumer-type head-wearing devices. As a result, the product does not look like a goggle, but rather resembles a headset. Yongkang brand tool

Avegant's product design was unveiled in 2013, but at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the company will release final product designs for ordinary consumers, which are codenamed "Glyph". The product will be equipped with an HDMI input interface that can be connected to a phone, tablet, computer and game console. Glyph can be used to play games, but it will initially target users who like to watch movies or just need a headset.

Insiders point out that the overall design of this product is different from the bulky, ultra-realistic Samsung Gear VR. However, if you really wear such a product on the head, then it will be slightly eccentric.

Glyph's prototype will debut at CES. In addition, the company will also launch a reservation for this product. Prior to January 15, glyph's booking price was $499, and the subsequent price would be $599. Therefore, the price of this product is not cheap in all virtual reality head-wearing devices. Compared with this, Oculus Rift is priced at $350, while Gear VR is $200. Of course, the latter also needs to be used in conjunction with Samsung Galaxy Note 4. The glyph was originally planned for sale in 2014, although the current expected opening time was postponed to "fall 2015". (Victoria Gold)
