Caleo Global Moderator Posted January 2, 2006 Global Moderator Share Posted January 2, 2006 The EyeBud, which displays video in front of one eye, can provide the feeling of watching video on a 105-inch display from 12 feet away, according to the company. “Suddenly you’ve got this big-screen, movie-screen, home-theater experience, wherever you are,” said Gary Jones, eMagin’s president and CEO. The EyeBud uses a separate control module, about the size of an iPod, which includes a rechargeable battery pack.

Deathray Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 This is one of the things that I would really have to try out before I could say whether i'd want one or not :s... The first concern that comes to mind is how it would affect a person's vision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanky Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 So you have to have one eye closed? Try doing that for and hour and a half it's actually really uncomfortable, for me at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firebud Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I hope it performs really well, because I would feel like the biggest nerd in the world strutting around sporting one of those. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pajter Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 So a 105 inch TV displaying a 320x240 video? Can you say BLOCKY? I quote: "can provide the feeling of watching video on a 105-inch display" It's not actually that big, but it just feels big, because it's so close to the eye :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toology Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 For $600 you can get a PMP/PVR/PMC with a larger screen and with Inspector Gadget features up the ass. This makes absolutely zero practical sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
