Avegant Glyph

The Avegant Glyph is coming.

But more importantly...it's revolutionary.

The device works much like the Oculus Rift, serving as a head-mounted display that puts you into the media--whether it be a movie, videogame or pictures. However, where the Glyph begins to separate itself from the rest of the pack is in the type of display it offers. Avegant decided to utilize a VRD display, which stands for 'Virtual Retina Display', and in essence--we're really excited. A VRD display is unique, because instead of providing a screen with an average pixelated display, the Glyph just beams the image directly into your eye.

Yep, you heard it right.

Say for instance, you're sitting on a train, or maybe even an airplane. If your friend motions for you to see something on his/her phone, you can just look over and see whatever it is. The Glyph offers a level of freedom unseen in the current market. With the Oculus Rift, you'd need to take the mask off and maneuver. But since the Glyph only beams the image into your eye, it works out perfectly.

As it currently stands, the Glyph only lasts for about 3 hours at a time, which is a bit of a disappointment. But, in this case, it's the thought that counts. Avegant is opening up another realm of possibilities in the wearables market. And in the coming year, things are going to explode.

2015 is predicted to be a big year for wearables, and by December, you're going to be seeing a lot of tech related to this. In the future, instead of looking at a screen, images will be natural--a part of you. Glasses and retina displays are only the first step. Once these devices begin to catch on...there will be no going back.

And that's just exciting.
