Description: To understand why they have made this headset it is best to understand that eMagin is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of active-matrix Organic LED microdisplays. The point is when it comes to video displays they are one of the best in the world, and this set of video glasses really are one of the best you can buy. In fact, it can still handle just about anything you can throw at it even today!

Review: The eMagin Z800 3D Visor is and indeed was one of the very first head-mounted displays (HMD’s) to deliver on their claimed promise of an immersive 3D computing experience. But at the end of the day, it is nothing more than a very well made set of video glasses that offer the equivalent of a 105-inch movie screen viewed at just 12 feet. But as a side bonus, it does offer advanced 360-degree head-tracking which you could use in 3D shooters on the PC like Doom. OK, so it’s not quite a VR headset, but it is still worth a mention.
