glyph- the personal theater

"IT IS MORE LIKE SEEING THAN WATCHING. AVEGANT"
I  FIRST SAW THIS PRODUCT  AT UNBOX THERAPY (YOUTUBE CHANNEL). THIS A TOTALLY NEW CONCEPT WHICH HAS REDEFINED VIRTUAL REALITY. IT IS A KICKSTARTER PRODUCT. AVEGANT IS THE COMPANY THAT MADE THEIR FLAGSHIP PRODUCT CALLED GLYPH.THE COMPANY WAS CO-FOUNDED BY ALLAN EVANS AND EDWARD TANG. IT IS LOCATED IN REDWOOD CITY, CALIFORNIA, USA WITH AROUND JUST 50 EMPLOYEES.

 IT IS NOT LIKE THE VR HEADSET WHERE YOU PLACE YOUR DEVICE INSIDE THE HEADSET, BUT HERE THE DEVICE IS CONNECTED TO THE GLYPH USING A HDMI OR USB CABLE. SO IT IS SAFE AS COMPARED TO THE VR HEADSET AS THE DEVICE/MOBILE WILL NOT FALL ON TO YOUR EYES AS IT IS NOT PRESENT THERE.IT IS THE WORLD'S FIRST PERSONAL THEATER WITH AMBIENT SOUND AND CRYSTAL DISPLAY . WE CAN ALSO EASILY CARRY IT AND USE IT AS A NORMAL HEADPHONE WHEN NOT USING IT FOR VIDEO. AVEGANT HAS PATENTED IT'S  RETINAL  IMAGING TECH WHICH  USES ADVANCED OPTICS AND MICROSCOPIC MIRRORS  TO PROJECT IMAGE DIRECTLY INTO THE EYES. 



WE CAN WATCH MOVIES, PLAY GAMES, LISTEN TO  MUSIC IN GLYPH. EVEN A SPECS USER CAN WATCH VIDEOS ON GLYPH WITHOUT HIS SPECS.A HDMI PORT IS PROVIDED WITH GLYPH WHICH CAN BE USED WITH VARIETY OF DEVICES WHICH EVEN VR HEADSET CANNOT PROVIDE LIKE SMARTPHONES, LAPTOPS, TABS, GAMING CONSOLES AND EVEN A DRONE TRANSMITTER.IT GIVES A 360*  AND 3D EXPERIENCE.
IT HAS BEEN AWARDED " BEST OF CES( CONSUMER ELECTRONIC SHOW) 2016" .IT HAS HD RESOLUTION. 4 HRS IS THE BATTERY LIFE WHICH IS NOT SO GOOD. AVEGANT SHOULD WORK UPON THAT.IT IS JUST 434 GM ,SO LIGHT TO CARRY.THE EARPHONES IN THE GLYPH ARE MASSIVE WHICH GIVES YOU A CLARITY SOUND. THE 2 LENS ON THE DEVICE WORKS LIKE A PROJECTOR TO YOUR EYES.

HOW DOES THE GLYPH DISPLAY WORK.



  • LOW POWERED LED


THE PATENTED RETINAL IMAGING TECH IS USED TO TRANSMIT IMAGES DIRECTLY INTO THE EYES. THE IMAGE  BEGINS AT THE LED.

  • MICRO MIRROR ARRAY 
AFTER PASSING THROUGH THE OPTICS, THE LIGHT IS REFLECTED TO THE MICROSCOPIC MIRROR. 2 MILLION MIRRORS SHAPE THE IMAGE FROM THE LIGHT.
  • PROJECTED ON RETINA
THE LIGHT IN THEN FOCUSED THROUGH A SECOND SET OF OPTICS INTO THE RETINA IN THE SAME WAY WE SEE LIGHT EVERYDAY.

THERE IS GLYPH COMPANION APP AVAILABLE BOTH ON ANDROID AND IOS .IN INDIA THE GLYPH CAN BE BOUGHT AT AMAAZON AT A PRICE TAG OF RS 1,19,529. THAT'S A HUGE PRICE FOR SUCH A DEVICE. THE REVIEWS HAVE SAID THAT USING GLYPH FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR GIVES PAIN TO YOUR NOSE.
