This thing is the Sony HMZ-T2, a ‘personal viewer’ you can wear that simulates a 750-inch(!) screen about 6 feet away. Be aware that this is not a virtual reality headset (that would be the Oculus Rift, a device that really is worth your attention, and probably deserves a post of its own), it’s simply a personal viewer. You can watch TV or movies, play games, listen to music, whatever, as long as you have a source hooked up.

The reason I post this is because I’ve never been sure about these things. There have been others, like i-Glasses and MyVu, but no matter who makes them, or how large the virtual screen size is, it’s not actually the same as viewing a huge screen – you as the user know they are .7 inch screens you’re seeing. I do think they would have some use if you want to watch TV or listen to music while someone else is sleeping, or if your on an airplane or somewhere else that limits your access, but in general they haven’t reached the right combination of weight/comfort/not looking goofy that is needed for these things to work.

Having written this though, I want to give this new model a shot. Would you ever use one?
