iTheater - wearable display
When the article said “Watch movies, play games in the privacy of your own head,” I was thinking they were crazy for wanting me to buy something that will help me imagine stuff. But I was wrong, since the iTheater was, after all, a wearable type of display. Yes, you wear it on your head, and you don’t have to imagine something in your head. Well, you won’t actually wear it while walking on the street, lest you bump into a signpost or get hit by a speeding bus.
It’s more of a personal entertainment center. It features an amazing 230,000 pixel resolution along with surround sound. Only weighing 3 ounces it fits very comfortably around the head.
The iTheater will work with any device that outputs analog video and audio via standard RCA jacks. It will work on portable DVD players, video iPods, game consoles and computers. the iTheater will give you a field of vision of 24 degress, which makes it equivalent to viewing a 50-inch display at about five to six feet distance. This is good enough for the regular gaming and on-the-go DVD. But the resolution seems too low, at 320×240, since the iTheater is touted to be equivalent to a 50-inch display, you’re likely to be missing on some details.
Here are the specs:
- Resolution: 320×240 (QVGA)
- 230,000 pixels each LCD
- Color configuration: vertical stripe
- Field of view: 24
- Eye relief: 20mm
- Exit pupil diameter: 10mm
- Audio: surround stereo
- NTSC/PAL compatible
- 10 foot A/V cable
- Completely portable
- Battery operated: requires 2 “AA” batteries (not included)
- Weight: 3 ounces
