Sony today announced the planned launch of their Head Mounted Display “Personal 3D Viewer” ‘HMZ-T1', "a device that offers a spectacular new style for viewing both 2D and 3D content...[by slipping] the device onto your head to experience the movie theater-like virtual screen." The main features of this device include:
  1. The high definition OLED panel delivers HD picture quality.
  1. The ‘Dual Panel 3D Method’ delivers natural and bright 3D picture quality that is crosstalk-free.
  1. Optical lens which realize wide 45-degree horizontal viewing angle...which is equivalent to a movie theater screen...
  1. ‘5.1ch Virtual Surround Technology (Virtualphones Technology)’ for realistic and expressive sound.
The Head Mounted Display comes with a processor unit so it can be connected to a television but its unclear if it can be successfully connected to an iPod touch, iPhone or iPad.  We've been saying for a long time that a device like the Head Mounted Display coupled with an iDevice would be really sweet. If this was the case, we'd be one of the first in line so we could play games in a deeply immersive format.  A game like 'Anomaly Warzone Earth HD' would be so wicked.
The Head Mounted Display is expected to go on sale in Japan on November 11, 2011 for just under $800. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZCYKk_ZxkY
