According to Epson, a pair of 0.52 inch LCD displays, each with a resolution of 960x540, create a viewing experience that's akin to watching a 320 inch display from 65 feet away. Which is the equivalent of watching a 50 inch display from about 10 feet, for those who don't have a gymnasium sized living room. Multimedia content is fed to the glasses via a tethered control unit running Android 2.2, and while videos and pictures can be played from an SDHC card, the unit is equipped with wifi, a touchpad, and a flash-enabled web browser so content can also be streamed online.
Available in Japan on November 25 for about $643, the Moverios can also be worn over a user's regular glasses, just the like oversized sunglasses that adorn grandparents around the world. And while they seem targeted as the ideal way to pass the time while flying, I think they're far better suited for a daily commute on the subway, letting you catch up on TV while keeping an eye on that sketchy dude sitting across from you.
