That’s the beauty of our Kickstarter reviews. We actually test the prototype, find out how much promise it has and help you decide if the thing is worth funding or buying.
Today’s invention: The Avegant Glyph. They look like headphones, but the headband pivots down in front of your eyes to display video.
The claim: The video image is beamed “onto your retina, creating sharp, stark images unlike anything you’ve seen before.” You get state-of-the-art noise cancellation headphones when you’re just listening; razor-sharp, vivid, hi-def, 3D-capable video when you want to watch, too.
Price: $500.
