How To Wear A 62in TV
Headsets that make you believe you are watching a 40in
TV from eight-feet away have never really captured the public’s imagination
nor, more importantly, their wallets. Having tested a few, the experience can
be a little underwhelming, thanks to image quality.
Icuiti,
which makes a lot of these, thinks it has a new way to market: gamers. The VR920
picked up an innovations award at this year’s 
CES 2007 show but it is almost
ready for launch and is hoping this can drive mainstream business.
This
is a virtual 62in display viewed at nine feet, with headphones that can be
upgraded or removed and a noise canceling microphone for in-game chatting to
other players over the Internet.
It
has twin 640x480 VGA progressive scan LCDs and weighs in at just 3oz. It also
comes with USB which will make it a snap for hooking up to PCs, laptops or
consoles Icuiti is hoping that players of online games like World of Warcraft
will see the appeal. If the company manages to get the price right, maybe they
will, although I don't expect these to come that cheap.
