from the cool-bean dept. Olympus just put on sale in Japan a new version of its Eye-Trek line that could, quite literally, change the way you look at your television, DVD or game console forever. The Eye-Trek FMD-700 is the latest in Olympus' line of face-mounted displays -- high tech goggles that are worn like glasses but include two 0.55-inch LCD (liquid crystal display) panels for image projection. Despite their size, the LCD screens give the illusion of looking at a much larger screen. Olympus says they offer the equivalent of viewing a 52-inch screen from a distance of two meters. The screen offers an image of 500 lines -- the same as a conventional television -- and a physical resolution of 180,000 pixels, although the system uses a special system to give the illusion of 720,000 pixels, according to Olympus. < | >
