As the tech world eagerly awaits Appliances with head-worn displays such as Google Glass and Oculus Rift, new "players" enter this area. One of them is Glyph of Avegant, which aspires to become a fully portable, personal "cinema", providing the user with a complete visual and audio experience.
Glyph uses technology VRD (Virtual Retina Display), which is in essence "inspired" by the way the human eye perceives the light to project images directly to the user's retina thanks to a million micro-mirrors facing each eye. The end result is remarkably clear image quality.

"And that's just the beginning," the creators claim on Glyph's page at Kickstarter, where they "upgraded" their device to raise funding.

Imagine the integration of an LTE chip in Glyph so you can make calls directly from your headset, "he says. Also, as noted, users have been using Glyph for hours, with no symptoms of dizziness or nausea.
The project has far outstripped its goals in Kickstarter, as it has accumulated 946.970 dollars while the target was 250.000, while 17 days are left to complete the process. Those who choose to provide the amount of 499 dollars and more will receive a functional Beta Glyph Prototype.
