A late Christmas present?

Just released Cinemizer headset, which is designed for use with video iPods, as well as other devices with a standard AV output. It marks a push into the consumer entertainment for the company, more famed for its camera lenses, industrial and medical applications of its expertise.

The headset - worn like a pair of glasses - includes a screen for each eye, and uses the company's expertise in optical technology to show video as though it was on a 45" display at just a touch under two metres away. Each display can be individually adjusted between -3.5 and +3.5 diopter to cater for eyesight issues like near and farsightedness.

The device will go on sale in Germany in February, with a US and UK launch planned for the second quarter. The suggested price in Germany will be €369, and five colours will be available. (Source MacUser website)
