Ok folks, this one is totally out there. A recent report has divulged a claim that Apple, along with Sony, may be developing wearable, head-mounted video displays. Yes that’s right, iGoggles if you will.
The report goes on to note that not only will users be able to access media that is stored on iPods and iPhones, but will also have legitimate access to true computer functionality. As more encompassing multimedia experiences have been breaking ground, interest in such technologies have increased. Not only would products such as these capture consumer attention, but would provide extensive military applications as well.
The report notes that sales of personal viewers have seen dramatic growth. Consumer markets have been predicted to grow between $1.1B and $2.8B on the high end. This market growth has been factored to be driven by the emergence of major industry players, such as Apple.
As a side note, Myvu products are currently considered the best head-mountable goggles available. Although they’ve generally suffered through poor reviews, there still seems to be an interest in them, past the initial “WOW” factor.
