Big Screen Coming To The iPod Video?
Tuesday, January 03, 2006
Gary Jones, president and CEO of eMagin Corp. of Bellevue, demonstrates his company's new wearable display for video iPods. Using the EyeBud headset is akin to watching a 105-inch display from 12 feet away. "Suddenly you've got this big-screen, movie-screen, home-theater experience wherever you are," he says.Bellevue-based eMagin Corp. plans to unveil the device sometime this year with a suggest retail price of $600 -- about $200 more than the cost of Apple's most expensive iPod.
Dubbed the EyeBud 800, the device will display video from fifth-generation iPods in the front of one eye using optical technology designed to give the picture a higher resolution and make it appear larger than on the iPod's screen.
Ok, I draw the line at this one, the ipod video is very cool but this is pretty stupid. At least make it look like you are not some borg from Star Trek. This is just the 1st gen and maybe they will clean it up and it will be a pair of sunglasses that you wear that will allow you to watch your videos. Price wise, its way too expensive and people will be so wrapped up into their shows that they will forget to get off the train, walk into others and it will be a mess. At least when you are listening to music u can see in front of you, this will cause everyone to live in some virtual reality and we will walk around like a bunch of zombies.....
