Seattlepi.com: “Bellevue-based eMagin Corp. has developed a wearable headset system that plugs into Apple Computer’s portable media device and displays video from it in front of one eye, using optical technology designed to give the picture a higher resolution and make it appear larger than on the iPod’s screen.”
It goes on to say: “With the proximity of the screen to the eye, and the magnifying effect of the company’s optical technology, the company says that using the headset is akin to watching a 105-inch display from 12 feet away.”
A huge screen TV in the palm of your hand…or should I say the front of your face. It doesn’t come cheap though – $599 which costs more than the Video iPod itself. Great piece of kit though!

Great idea, but count me out at that price…and there I was thinking that I had found a solution for video iPod viewing on the way to work. First day back tomorrow so it’ll be the first time I start walking into lamposts.
Seriously though ever see The Jerk starring Steve Martin? That’s got to mess your vision up!

LOL!
Give it time and the price will surely drop. Not sure about the eye sight issue though!

Just wait till someone introduces contact lenses that can display video and access Web sites. (And learn your thoughts! w00t!) Thanks for the article, and especially for the picture. Very interesting!
