- Epson Japan announced the Moverio this week, a see-through 3D head-mounted display that the company claims is the first of its kind.
- “Think of it as a mix of NEC’s transparent HMD Tele Scouter and Sony’s cool 3D OLED head mounted display HMZ-T1, powered by Android OS,” reports TechCrunch.
- Epson’s Moverio is lower resolution than the Sony HMD, but at 160g is much lighter in weight.
- “The Moverio supports MPEG-4/MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 video files, including side-by-side 3D images on its 0.52-inch displays with 960×540 resolution,” indicates the post. “It handles AAC and MP3 audio files, too.”
- The HMD is expected to hit Japanese stores later this month at a price equivalent to $770.
