Epson is now shipping what they call the “World’s First Android-Based See-Through Wearable Display.” The Moverio BT-100 is a set of glasses (herein referred to as “display”) which houses two micro-projections for personalized 3D viewing. The displays are controlled by track-pad remote running on Android, and sound can be heard through personal headphones or the included detachable set.
The $699 Moverio device boasts Dolby Mobile surround sound, built-in Wi-Fi, six hours of battery life, and storage to the display’s built-in 1GB internal or external microSDHC card slot (up to 32GB). With the added storage, you can view downloaded content offline.
Epson says the BT-100 gives users a new way “to interact with 3D CAD environments to visualizing 3D design renderings.” And hey, guess what? The Moverio supports Flash 11. Adobe must be proud.
