Sony HMZ-T3W Personal 3D Viewer delivers on-the-move viewing in style

sony-hmz-t3wBack in the good old days, there was this thing called the ViewMaster, where one would go through a slideshow using the ViewMaster device that makes it look as though you were staring into a huge screen even from an inch or so away. Well, times have certainly evolved, and while we have heard of the promise of wearable smart glasses, here is another innovation from Sony that might just make you want to blow your monthly budget for impulse purchases. I am referring to the Sony HMZ-T3W Personal 3D Viewer which will feature a pair of OLED displays, where they are capable of delivering an immersive ‘big screen’ experience regardless of where you are at that particular point in time.

It is right now available for pre-sale in the US now at Sony Stores and select retailers, where it sports a $999 price tag. With the Sony HMZ-T3W sitting comfortably on the bridge of your nose, it would enable consumers to be able to sit back, relax and immerse themselves in portable entertainment ecstasy, where their eyes will meet super-sized High Definition images as well as realistic sound reproduction, all without having to remain tethered by some kind of cable or wire. This is a third generation personal 3D viewer from Sony, which means certain advancements such as it being lighter than its predecessors is in line with expectations, offering an easy-to-wear form factor alongside a bunch of simple connections that allows you to hook it up to the likes of gaming consoles, PCs, home theater components, tablets and smartphones so that you can enjoy a jaw-dropping view of movies, games and apps thanks to a massive virtual screen size which will let you bring a cinematic, home theater viewing experience wherever you go.

The ergonomically-styled head mounted unit will boast of flexible headbands so that it is capable of adjusting in a jiffy to fit the head of just about anyone. Not only that, there is also a large, cushioned head pad so that it reduces wear pressure, in addition to easy lens adjustment for a relaxed, fatigue-free viewing experience. Since the Sony HMZ-T3W will no longer cause viewers to remain tethered to an AC power socket, watching your favorite shows on this puppy while you are on a long road trip would definitely make life far more enjoyable.

Not only that, the Sony HMZ-T3W Personal 3D Viewer can be connected via MHL, where it also boasts of HDMI connectivity as well as the ability to charge the battery of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets while you are watching something. It is time to throw out that old faithful personal media player and start looking all futuristic with the Sony HMZ-T3W Personal 3D Viewer!

Sony HMZ-T2 Personal 3D Viewer sheds the pounds

Sony has listened to their customers, and with their latest release of the Sony HMZ-T2 Personal 3D Viewer, this puppy is touted to be 20% lighter than its predecessor, making your experience of watching a virtual 150” display all the more enjoyable. Not only that, the sleek, streamlined look of the Sony HMZ-T2 Personal 3D Viewer definitely makes it a keeper no matter how you look at it, just like how their OLED VR goggles were worth ogling over at CES last year.

In order to help the Sony HMZ-T2 Personal 3D Viewer shed some weight, Sony decided to ditch the ear cups, while replacing them with earbuds. This should not really affect the audio quality that much, where your ear drums will still enjoy a virtual 5.1 surround sound experience. Alternatively, you have the option to plug in your very own pair of headphones and earbuds right into the head mounted display. “Detachable light shields” have also been incorporated to help prevent outside light from shining in.

Sony quietly drops new HMZT2 Personal 3D viewer at IFA

Sony almost sneaked this one by us at today’s IFA press event. In fact, it was never mentioned on stage and practically buried in the day’s flood of PR. The HMZ-T2 is the company’s next generation wearable 3D display. Aesthetically it doesn’t appear very different from last year’s T1 and, spec-wise, things seem largely the same as well. Put the head-mounted unit on and you’ll be presented with a pair of 0.7-inch OLED monitors that deliver 45 degrees of three-dimensional entertainment. There’s also the same Virtualphones tech baked in, that create the illusion of a 360-degree 5.1 surround sound system. The T2 distinguishes itself primarily through a refined design that makes it lighter and more comfortable (without resorting to shape-shifting liquid metal, either). For more, check out the PR below.
