Hasta La Gadget!

[CES 2014] Back in December 2013, we reported that there was a chance that Sony could debut a new virtual reality headset at CES 2014, and sure enough it looks like Sony did not disappoint as they have unveiled the HMZ-T3Q. The device is actually a follow-up to last year’s HMZ-T3W, with notable upgrades of course. According to Sony, the new virtual reality head mounted display has a virtual screen which reaches up to a whopping 750-inches, and will be worn like a pair of pair of goggles (pictured above), enveloping you in your own private cinematic world.

Designed for entertainment purposes, such as movie watching and gaming, the HMW-T3Q is aware of your head movements as well, so if you were to turn your head, it will take note of that and allow you to focus in on that particular scene. Also given that the headset is portable, Sony has suggested it can be used in place of other portable entertainment devices, such as laptops, tablets, or smartphones, while at the same time affording its wearer a degree of privacy. Could Sony’s own virtual reality headset prove to be stiff competition for the Oculus Rift headset? That’s hard to say, but given Sony’s reputation and experience, it certainly lends them that edge. Unfortunately for those of you looking to get in on the VR experience, Sony has not mentioned anything about pricing or availability just yet.

[CES 2014] Wouldn’t it be cool if you were watching a TV show and additional information about said show could show up while you’re watching it? Imagine watching a cooking show and instead of frantically jotting down the recipe and instructions, it were displayed in front of you while you watched? Or have a live Twitter feed going for you while you watched your favorite sporting event? Those are just some of the functions that Sony’s Smart Eyeglass is hoping to do. The company has recently unveiled the technology at CES 2014 which some are calling Sony’s answer to Microsoft’s SmartGlass technology.

As it stands, Sony’s efforts are still in its prototype stages and its functionality is limited at the moment and is definitely not tuned for gaming yet. However what it does have is what we mentioned earlier, which is the ability to overlay information in your vision to help supplement something that you could be watching on TV. However like we said, the Sony Smart Eyeglass is still in its prototype stages meaning that it is unclear as to when we might be able to get our hands on it, and how much it would cost, however with Sony’s new head mounted display pegged at $999, we expect that Smart Eyeglass could be priced somewhere around that region as well, give or take a few.
