Epson Moverio BT-100 Review

 

Wearable displays look super cool in sci-fi movies, but have failed to make a commercial success till now. Almost every year, we see prototypes shown off at exhibitions like CES, and so far, Sony is one of the only top tier brands to bring this out in...

Since this is portable device, battery life is also equally important. Epson claim about 6 hrs of battery life, but in our tests, we managed to get around 4.5 hrs of continuous playback. This is not bad considering it has to power the headset as well....

Epson Moverio BT-100 review

 

Projector specialists Epson are exceptionally good at video projectors. But not everyone can have a projector, and they more often than not aren't portable. So the Moverio glasses are designed to give you a projector experience, with some portable...

A good idea, not bad picture quality, great sound

Too expensive, terrible support for common video containers

There are too many problems here to make these a good buy, in our opinion. Ignoring the massive pricetag, they don't accept enough video formats to appeal to anyone, they aren't all that much fun to wear

An interesting concept but too rough around the edges to recommend

Hands-on: Epson Moverio BT-100

 

If you've been intrigued with Google's Project Glass, the Epson Moverio BT-100 may just offer a glimpse of what wearable computing could entail in the future. First conceived by Steve Mann and developed further at the MIT Media Lab, wearable computing...

Surely, that’s more useful than transplanting a phone or tablet onto a pair of shades.

Review: Epson Moverio BT-100

 

Play movies, run apps and surf the Web on a virtual 320-inch screen with this new personal mobile entertainment device.

Crisp and vibrant images; solid 3D performance; bright enough for indoors and outdoors; app support; battery operated

Heavy headset; doesn't fit well for petite users; no preinstalled app store; lacks A/V input; very limited playable file formats

Without any Netflix-like video-on-demand apps and A/V inputs, you will have to regularly transfer media files to the Moverio to enjoy newer content. For US$699, the Moverio is unlikely to appeal to most users just for watching short online videos from...
