Eyetop DVD review: Introduction



I'm sure many of our readers remembers the IBM commercial from a few years back where a man is walking around a piazza in Italy, issuing buy and sell orders and browsing his Excel spreadsheet all through a screen embedded into his glasses. Well, it looks like the team at Eyetop got inspired enough to try to make part of that vision a reality with their new Eyetop DVD product.

We define it as a miniature, portable, rugged monocular eyewear display which allows to watch videos, images and others visual information in your field of view while going about your business.


The $599 package includes a set of special glasses, headphones, and a portable DVD player, all nicely bundled into a convenient carrying case.


Here are a couple of pictures of the system (click on the image for a full-screen view):
