Το Glyph χρησιμοποιεί τεχνολογία VRD, η οποία στην ουσία «εμπνέεται» από τον τρόπο με τον οποίο το ανθρώπινο μάτι αντιλαμβάνεται το φως για να προβάλει pictures directly to the user's retina.
As the world of technology is excitedly waiting for devices with monitors worn on the head, such as Google Glass and Oculus Rift, new "players" enter this area. One of them is Glyph of Avegant, which aspires to be a fully portable, personal "cinema", as it provides the user with a complete visual and audio experience.
Glyph uses technology VRD (Virtual Retina Display), which is essentially "inspired" by the way the human eye perceives light to project images directly onto the user's retina, thanks to a million micromirrors located opposite each eye. The end result is remarkably clean quality image.
"Instead of a pixel screen within a mile from you, we provide you with a high-quality image right in front of your eye," said Grand Martin, Avegant's marketing and product strategist at Mashable.
The Glyph connects via HDMI to other devices to "pump" the material it displays to the user. Beyond showing movies or the desktop with ενός συστήματος, οι δημιουργοί του υποστηρίζουν ότι είναι ιδανικό και για gaming, λόγω της ενσωματωμένης τεχνολογίας detectionof head movement.
"And that's just the beginning," the creators claim on Glyph's page at Kickstarter, where they "upgraded" their device to raise funding.
"Imagine directors who can shoot 360 degrees where you can not just see the actors interacting in a café, but you can also look around in the environment as the story unfolds around you. 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.
