My wife Ponzi was supposed to do this product review. She's the one who wanted one of these video visor things. It's been on her wish list for a few years now. I was lucky enough to make the right connection to be able to review this video visor from Headplay.

Wrap your head into this one

Had the opportunity to try out the Headplay Personal Cinema system with some games and I have to say this is one of the best electronic inventions you've never heard of.

It's essentially a pair of goggles attached to a visor that lets you watch any video source. Plug a game system, laptop, DVD player, even cable box into the goggles and you've got crystal-clear vision and stereo sound right in front of your eyes.

Headplay Personal in-ear Cinema System

Headplay is probably every couch potato’s dream. Imagine a TV. Now imagine being able to take it anywhere and everywhere you go (except perhaps in the shower), and being able to watch movies or play games on it anytime you want. That’s the concept for the new “Personal Cinema System” device, Headplay.

Headplay is a head-mounted device; a TV you wear on your head. You can connect it to your gaming consoles, your DVD Player, your iPod, your PC, and maybe your Betamax player if it hasn’t choked on dust yet. If it has a video out function, Headplay can most probably display it. You can also plug in a memory stick and Headplay can run the media files - movies, videos, and images - with its own built-in player.

QJ.NET Headplay review: a bite from Apple’s cinematic experience

The MacWorld Expo 2008 sure swept people’s feet up into the air. Or, to be more specific, Air (yeah that capital ‘A’ makes the difference). Yep, the MacBook Air sure is getting quite a lot of attention lately. And sure, the specs might be a bit unsettling for some, but you can’t deny that that piece of hardware beauty looks mighty sleek indeed.

And so we look back at our clunky (but back then was among the prettiest still) little PowerBook. We’ve definitely gone far, that’s for sure. And in the spirit of showing love to the often-forgot ancestors of today’s technology, we decided to revisit our old iGadgetry (hey, everyone grows attached every now and then) and reacquaint it with the new.

QJ.Net Headplay review: PSP Slim and Lite plus UMD movie

Introduction

Inspired by the need to experiment with something new, we at QJ.NET decided to test the Headplay unit yet again. Granted, this wasn't our first time to do so, but it was our first time to test the Headplay gear in conjunction with a portable game console that supported S-video. Since next-gen consoles used component video, we decided to see if a different video output would yield different results .

QJ.NET review: Plugging the Wii into Headplay

Some relationships have always been meant to work, no matter how strange or off-beat they may seem at first. But is the union between the Headplay Personal Cinema System, a neat little gadget that lets you play your games in an entirely different fashion, and the Nintendo Wii, an awesome little console with a similar approach to gaming as well, a match made in heaven or a tragic love affair? This is the article that hopes to answer that question. This is the QJ.NET review of the Headplay Personal Cinema System when it's hooked up to the Nintendo Wii.

QJ.NET review: Crysis powers up with Headplay on the PC

A lot of us are probably old enough to have been around at the time 3D video game eyewear was born. Led by Nintendo's historic but under-appreciated Virtual Boy portable game system, these peripherals made their way to the gaming market and provided the then relatively small gaming population a curious peek into the world of virtual reality. While a lot of us were undoubtedly amused with this development, a lot of us chose to watch at the sidelines and stick to our regular TVs.

HEADPLAY-Personal Cinema Experience

WOW WOW WOW. Son got his "Headplay"...this is incredible. It is a VISOR aka Star trek stuff, that plays movies, allows gaming RIGHT IN FRONT of your eyes. I can only imagine the next generations getting smaller and smaller. THIS is the "virtual" stuff on star trek to allow them to take escape vacations. It is SOO much better than looking through binoculars. The lenses are individually able to be adjusted. It is an EXPERIENCE. Blogger is not letting me post a picture right now.

Home cinema kit goes 3D

After thousands of sci-fi movies have already exploited the idea, the possibility of immersive 3D films and gaming is finally upon us in the real world. Manufacturer Headplay claims to have created the world’s first portable cinema capable of rendering both 2D and 3D content through a head-mounted visor.

The Headplay Personal Cinema System has two parts: a visor unit, that’s worn by the user and includes a ‘screen’ that sits over their eyes, and the “Liberator” unit, which connects the visor to the content source. The Liberator is compatible with a range of multimedia sources, including your DVD player.
