The latest technology in enhancing viewing experiences is here and it's gotten some mixed reviews.

The Avegant Glyph is snazzy headgear, a slick viser, that allows users to watch videos handsfree, and on the move. The gadget is being sold as a portable movie theater or as a pari of headphones for the eyes, and come with a price tag of $699.

The resolution of the Glyph is 720 p and it can be plugged into pretty much anything. The device is known to cause some physical trouble, like nausea and ear issues after prolonged use.

Richard Kerris, the chief marketing officer at Avegant, spoke with TechCrunch about the gadget stating that you can watch "anything you want, anywhere you want" and revealed that the screen is made with Gorilla Glass with "a million mirrors per eye reflecting." Kerris also revealed that what sets the Glyph apart from other virtual reality headsets was the fact that it "keeps your spatial awareness."

Here are some reviews:

"The Avegant folks are careful not to position the Glyph as a "virtual reality" device-this is a head-mounted DLP-based personal theater, plain and simple. It has a nice 720p DLP display that produces a bright and clear image, though the visuals have some problems with ghosting and strobing. To my untrained non-audiophile ears, the attached headphones deliver on their "premium audio" marketing promise...

...If you want a nice personal theater device today and you don't mind spending money, it's probably an easy buy. If it were half the price, it'd be easy to recommend to anyone. But for now, unless you have the opportunity to try one for a few minutes and make sure it's not going to get your inner ear upset, it might be best to wait." -- Arstechnica

"The Avegant Glyph is trying something different, but treading new ground also means making a few missteps. The core movie-viewing experience is enjoyable, but some of the more immersive features such as head tracking are yet to be full exploited. If you're an early adopter, this device will thrill you. Otherwise, more casual users are better off waiting for a more refined version later on." -- Engadget
