Our Thoughts: If this Virtual IO Personal Display System seem strangely familiar it’s because these were the early version of the i-glasses and they are essentially the same thing only this headset was not passthrough or AR like the Virtual IO I-Glasses. Described as watching an 80″ TV from 11 feet away, provided you can plug it into your TV or PC you can play it on the i-glasses.
This is a good quality set of video glasses that has some features not often seen on this kind of tech. Adjustable brightness, contrast, tint, colour and sharpness buttons to control the display, and, of course, the ability to watch a 3-D movie or prepare a business presentation.
