Glyph: A Mobile Personal Theater With Built In Premium Audio

[CzarJunkie]

After backing a couple of other projects on Kickstarter, I've decided to back Glyph. It's a bit of a wait until Dec 2014 to get my hands on it, but can't wait.

Here's more info:


Introducing the Avegant Glyph

Since the beginning of personal display technology, screens have been getting smaller and closer to our eyes but with one limitation: image quality. At Avegant we've solved that problem using a new technology that mimics the way that we as humans naturally see light. Using a Virtual Retinal Display we've figured out how to project images directly onto your retina, creating sharp, stark images unlike anything you've seen before.
Over the past two years we've worked to miniaturize the technology to fit into a portable headset good for mobile or home use. The product of our work is the Glyph. Combining a unique flip-down form factor, super sharp imagery and premium noise-cancelling audio, we created a device that is a revolution in personal display technology.

The Glyph uses a simple HDMI input to display anything in your content library, from the movies that you already own to streamed Netflix over your iPhone to the desktop environment in your Mac or PC. The Glyph is also great for gaming, whether in playing Call of Duty Ghosts on your Playstation or Real Racing on your mobile phone. And with an integrated 9 Degree of Freedom head-tracker, a whole world of interactive gaming, Point of View (PoV) imaging and interactive storytelling is within our reach.

And this is just the beginning. The future of content possible with the Glyph is limitless. Imagine directors being able to produce 360° movies where you can not only watch actors interact in a cafe but look around the environment as the story unfolds around you. Imagine integrating an LTE chip into the Glyph and making calls straight from your headset. Imagine integrating a camera on the front of the visor and clicking a button to see not just the world in front of you but ultraviolet and infrared signatures in real time.
Backers of this project are more than consumers and testers. You're investing in the future of display technology and participating in what can change the world of vision as we currently know it. We'll make you part of that community as we build it from the ground up, from interactive testing and feedback to online forums to member-only events and perks.
At the end of this campaign, those who pledge $499 or more will receive a fully functional Beta Glyph Prototype, a device that integrates fluidly with any content of your choice, displays vivid 3D and symbolizes the first step in truly integrated and stylish mobile near-eye display technology.

Not heard of KickStart before but does seem some interesting projects on there worth backing, I don't know if I would do the $499 or more on glyph tho but if you got it spare why not.

What happens if they don't raise all the capital they want by the closing time do you get refunded the money or do you only pay your investment once they are successful with the funding?

They only take the money if it gets successfully funded.

Hmmm might be worth a punt on some of these as get some good deals if they come off

Anyway.. I almost joined this kick starter. They had one on the Gadget Show a couple of weeks back and it looks very good.
Something I want to try before I buy though.
