Epson America ships see-through wearable display

Featuring built-in Wi-Fi connectivity and nearly six hours of rechargeable battery life, Moverio offers an innovative, portable way to interact with content from virtually any location. Users can also access downloaded content via the microSDHC card slot and built-in 1GB internal user storage, even without wireless network access.

Anna Jen, director of New Business Development, Epson America, commented: “The Moverio BT-100 see-through display is poised to significantly impact not only the way people interact with content for personal enjoyment, but the development of content for future applications – from virtual training platforms to a new way to interact with 3D CADenvironments to visualizing 3D design renderings.”

The Moverio BT-100 leverages Epson’s LCDtechnology and visual imaging to project an 80-inch perceived “floating” display into the user’s environment for browsing the web, playing games, watching videos and interacting with content privately, while still allowing the user to see the real world. Using Moverio’s Android-powered controller with Wi-Fi connectivity, users can watch streaming video from sites such as YouTube or Vimeo or manage, download and interact with apps and content from nearly anywhere.

The Moverio BT-100 offers a unique platform for technology enthusiasts and developers to create new Android-based applications and side-by-side 3D content for this innovative see-through display technology. To help support application and content development for Moverio BT-100, Epson is offering a range of programs for developers residing in the United States.

The Epson Moverio BT-100 ($699.99 MSRP) is initially available through Epson’s own retail sitewww.epsonstore.com, select resellers and by pre-order on Amazon.com.
