Give me my Metaverse now.
The product is equipped with a pair of liquid crystal display (LCD) screens, roughly the size of a human pupil _ 4.2 millimeters by 4.8 millimeters _ in both lenses.
“Weighing just 2 grams each, this micro LCD would be the world’s smallest and lightest screen available. The weight of the video glasses would be also fine at 58 grams,” Kowon vice president Park Hong-tae said.
Park continued Kowon did not compromise the all-important visual quality to minimize the display size because the miniature screen features programs at 320X240 pixels resolution, similar to that of digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB).
“We attempted to make MSP-209 users feel they are watching a 32-inch TV at two meters away, with our miniature LCD embedded into glasses,” Park said. |link via Engadget|
Korean broadcasting on demand is so far ahead of ours that they are getting ready to pipe it right into your glasses. These sets are supposed to retail for around 200 bucks.
200 bucks. Goddamnit.
Yeah that’s a bit expensive but I’m sure they will be obsolete as soon as people wise up and abandon “meatspace”. I wonder if Kim Jong-il will be replacing his shades for a pair of those any time soon? Oh that’s the other Korea. Guess they aren’t both ahead of us.
200 bucks isn’t expensive at all. Its less expensive than an actual 32 inch TV.
