The EzVision original and the most recent EzVision X4 are a very interesting product. Both versions are light weight virtual reality eyewear and plug into your iPod Video or a portable DVD player or anything with an AV output, and shows your movies as though you're looking at a huge screen. The Original shows you movies at the equivalent of a 50 inch screen, and the X4 a 60 inch screen.

More interesting than the EzVision eyewear is what a virtual reality product such as this one could lead to in the future. A more advanced version of the EzVision specks may have a far better surround than a virtual 60 inch screen. By this I mean a 360 degree view that moves corresponding to the users head movements. If a technology like this was to be used along side a virtual program such as World of Warcraft or Second life, you would see things as if u were in this virtual world.

EzVision specks are a human interface device for the eyes. The specks could possibly be used in unison with other human interface devices for other parts of the body, such as a suit which animates your online character according to your body movements, then we have achieved complete virtual reality.

Another interesting development may be using virtual reality specks alongside Holophonic sound. Holophonic sound is recorded by two microphones positioned as though they were ears and panned either side of the stereo spectrum. It is virtual reality audio that works over stereo headphones combining the two technologies could create an interesting AV virtual reality that can be experienced from your home computer.
