But what you’re looking at is actually a real prototype of an HMD called the Glyph, developed by a company called Avegant. I got to try it myself back in 2013 when Avegant was developing the then yet-to-be-named Glyph, a personal video viewer which doubles as a pair of headphones and is available today for $400.

The demo is quite impressive.
The following year at CES 2014, Oculus had to share the immersive technology limelight with a slew of new startups who had appeared in the wake of Oculus’ success. Built atop an open source set of APIs, the platform was a refreshing take on how to deliver immersive technology. The OSVR HDK Headset.
It doesn’t burn me, because it’s a computer image displayed through a new kind of headset prototype built by Avegant, a Silicon Valley-based startup. Avegant calls it “light field.” A new kind of screen could help computer glasses replace the smartphone In my hand, mere inches away from my face, I’m holding a tiny elephant.
Greenwood works in digital production for Discovery and Evans is the CTO and co-founder of Avegant Glyph. Submerging yourself and watching a brand new world appear around you is an incredible experience and the weightlessness of the water provided a layer of immersion I didn’t even know I wanted until now.
