Why is the AVEGANT Glyph headset referred to as a personal theatre you may ask? That would be because these are headphones and a head mounted display in one package, unfortunately they launched while everyone was gazing at their Vives and Rifts. Instead of providing a VR experience, this headset is intended to give you the view of a 55-60" TV as if you were sitting 3 to 4 meters away. The headset uses a microUSB for power and microHDMI for signal and provides a resolution of 1280x720p per eye and even supports 3D-movies and 3D-Vision when gaming. Unfortunately as Bjorn3D discovered, you need a 720p source, it cannot downscale from 1080p or other resolutions. Check out their full review here.
"So what is the Avegant Glyph? Quite simply it is a headset that can be used as a regular audio headset but also comes with lenses to allow you to use it as your own mobile personal theater. And regardless of some issues it actually works great for this purpose."
