Introducing the Glyph HD Headset by Avegant. The Glyph is mediawear, a new category of personal entertainment technology designed with go-anywhere portability and amazingly precise video capability. The Glyph sits on your head like a pair of headphones, and when flipped down over your eyes, it becomes a personal theater for viewing all types of content from your mobile devices. Put it on, and you get the idea in seconds. It’s that intuitive. Avegant's patented Retinal Imaging Technology uses advanced optics and an array of two million mirrors to project images directly to your eyes to recreate natural sight. It’s more like seeing than watching—and far better than any other display technology.
The new Glyph HD Headset pairs beautifully with the CONNEX ProSight HD Vision Kit for a truly immersive HD FPV experience.
Key Features
Plug and Play
- The Glyph plugs into any HDMI-supported device and delivers your existing content in a way you’ve never experienced before: lifelike, crystal clear, brilliant.
Your Media
- Watch any type of existing media, including an immersive 360-degree experience and side-by-side 3D, in amazing detail.
Sense of Place
- This is media viewing in a whole new format. The Glyph lets you see above and below the visual field, so you can easily orient yourself to your surroundings and not give up spatial awareness.
Screenless Display
- Advanced optics create complete images, not pixels on a screen that your eyes have to interpret. This is effortless viewing, and it’s extraordinary.
Long Term Comfort
- Unlike traditional viewing formats, the Glyph does the work for your eyes. Visual input is very natural, with no lag time, so there’s never fatigue—just sharp, brilliant images.
No Side Effects
- The Glyph avoids eyestrain, headaches and the physical discomforts often associated with other head mounted displays. Images are focused for your eyes, so you can just relax and enjoy the show.
