SubscribeThere’s been some buzz lately about these Jordy looking glasses for watching video off of an iPod video. The displayed image is said to seem like a 27″ screen at 6 feet. I haven’t seen any in stores but it is available for order on the myvu website.
Here is part of what iLounge had to say about it:
The visual effect is claimed to be equivalent to a 27-inch television at a distance of roughly 7 feet away, but the company isn’t aiming for immersiveness: as explained to us back in January, the goal is to allow you to see the world around you while the display is in use. There are three related issues we feel are worth noting in greater detail here: we found the display small – a bit too small, but still watchable, and more so than on either of the other iPod wearable headsets out there – one user with a larger intra-ocular distance found the display impossible to adjust for optimal viewing. And several testers commented correctly that the unit’s designed-in ability to let you see the world around you while you’re viewing video can be distracting under certain circumstances, one noting that this is the right pair of goggles to wear in a plane, but not as a passenger in a car.
And a few pics of the product from the myvu website:
