- First announced at last year’s CES, Sony is now demonstrating the market-ready version of its head-mounted 3D display.
- As detailed at its August launch, the device simulates a 150-inch screen 12 feet away and features dual OLED screens as well as virtual 5.1-channel surround sound.
- The headset, although a bit front-heavy, was comfortable to wear — but is a challenge to enjoy with prescription glasses. The head mount and processing unit combined weighs about two pounds.
- The picture quality is amazing; however, the audio performance leaves something to be desired.
- The device is priced at $799 and is being positioned as a lower cost alternative to a traditional big screen HDTV and surround sound system.
- The HMZT1 Personal 3D Viewer is listed in the Sony Store, but is not shipping yet (expected soon).
