Sony's 3D Head-mounted Display to launch in Japan Next Month

Sony said Tuesday an updated version of its "Personal 3D Viewer" head-mounted display will go on sale next month for about $900.

The HMZ T2 is the second edition of the device and will retail in Japan in October for almost $100 more than its predecessor.



The new device, which wraps around the eyes and shows video so it appears at the size of a virtual movie screen, is over 20% lighter than its predecessor and provides 5.1-channel virtual sound. The headphones can also be swapped out, allowing users to listen via their own equipment. It also displays video so that they appear to be on a screen up to 750 inches in size and includes technology for smooth playback of quickly-changing scenes and better light shielding.

Sony hopes that the new model will have the same success with the previous one, which sold out several times.
