I was surprised at how many use cases I've found already, outside of the obvious ability to watch Game of Thrones on a plane without scrubbing past the sex scenes. You can watch a movie on the subway without worrying about someone stealing your bags, and if someone is silently judging you for looking like a character out of Star Trek? At least you'll know. You can wear the headset in bed while your partner watches something else on their laptop and still have a conversation. This means you'll be able to watch a movie on a flight while still ordering a drink from the flight attendant. You're not removed from your surroundings, although by focusing on the screen you can still get lost in video content or games.
#Best movie viewer headset full
You see a screen in the middle of your field of view when you're wearing the headset, but you maintain full situational awareness and can see your environment both above and below the middle band of your vision.
This isn't a virtual reality headset that's designed to blot out reality and replace it with a virtual world, and in many ways the fact that it doesn't do those things is one of its strongest features. The Glyph isn't meant to compete with devices like the Oculus Rift or the HTC Vive, although it's similarly priced to those two platforms. But after using a review loaner headset for two weeks, I'm enthusiastic about the Glyph's chances at carving out a niche for itself. You look very silly while you're wearing the device and, at $699, it's not an inexpensive piece of technology. Those are the two questions at the heart of the value proposition of the Avegant Glyph. How silly are you willing to look in order to have your own personal home theater? How much are you willing to pay?
