Viewer, Liberator and Navigator
The Viewer
The Viewer, or headset, is worn by the user and displays a virtual 52” screen, providing an immersive, movie theatre-like experience. The Viewer has been designed by industrial design firm, IDEO, to provide the ultimate in style and comfort for extended wear and viewing. It allows for the simultaneous use of a game controller or keyboard. The Viewer incorporates truly amazing optical technologies and will support various resolution levels up to 1024 X 768. HEADPLAY’s patented technology delivers separate but identical images to each eye via a single LCoS micro display, thereby helping to eliminate eyestrain.
The Liberator
The Liberator is both the brains and the heart of the Personal Cinema System. It accepts a composite video, component video and S-video signal in the formats of NTSC, PAL and SECAM. The Liberator runs the software for managing the system and allows for reading and displaying content through its Compact Flash slot or two USB host ports. It enjoys universal connectivity, making it compatible with virtually any device that has video out, including video game consoles, DVD players, video iPods, PCs, cell phones and USB storage devices such as previous generation iPods, thumbdrives or any MP3 player. Just plug and play, with no special drivers required.
