Wow. This is really cool stuff. The Accupix MP glass MPG-230A Video Glasses and portable player are maybe the best example of next-generation virtual reality systems. This technology enables the vision of "mobile presence": your body is in a physical space, but your mind is somewhere else. Imagine you're on the tube, bored and frustrated. Wou desperetely desire to escape from there, and experience five minute of peaceful relax. You have just to wear your portable immersive headset, and bon voyage.
There are many Positive applications that we can imagine using this technology, ranging from "traditional" virtual-reality based treatment to mobile telemedicine applications.
The system is also quite affordable (649$) as compared to traditional HMD.

| Overview
Fun, cool, private, advanced, high-tech, mobile, futuristic and state-of-the-art. These are just a few words to describe this hip and, what I call, cortex stimulating theater injectors. It’s the Matrix without the pain. Hey, DARPA, you might want to give Accupix a call for ideas! Guess what? You need a pair of these to keep out the rest of the world and immerse yourself in your own. View games, DVD, movies, PMP/PVR, VCR, TV and other sources of audio/video on your 30” theater right in front of those ole’ peepers while feeling like you’re relaxing in your favorite chair at six feet (2m). You can be selfish, for once, and not let anyone see what you’re watching (tell your boss you’re viewing your latest PowerPoint presentation of other work). Always wished you could just watch/listen to those R and XXX movies, raunchy comedy broadcasts and photos without feeling embarrassed in addition to your favorite shows, music and/or data/computer files? Well, strap these bad boys on and never worry about those around bothering you or seeing what flashing in front of those eyes of yours. Think you might be viewed as a “geek” with them on? Think again. You’ll be the attention-getter wherever you go. I don’t think of myself as a techno geek and with the video glasses on, I feel just fine thank you. The only thing I see and feel around me are those vibes of jealousy and wishing they had these themselves. It’s great, sometimes, to just totally tune out the world and, wow, what a world to go into for that escape. |
