'EyeBud' for the iPod Video

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the wearable-hardware-hackers-rejoice dept.

JonathanGCohen writes "The SeattlePI is reporting that eMagin, a company that makes video display products for military and industrial uses, has a new headset accessory for the iPod that projects video on to a screen smaller than a quarter that is mounted in front of one eye. Its makers say this creates the illusion of watching a 105 inch screen from a distance of 12 feet." The only problem is that the expected retail value of the EyeBud is around $600, about $200 more than a 60 gigabyte iPod.

    As far as gadgets go, it's pretty neat. The price is going to be the deterring factor for the general public though.
