How it works

Avegant Retinal Imaging Technology is the most advanced viewing experience for wearable displays, recreating natural sight to deliver incredibly crisp, clear images. A low-power light-source beams HD imagery through a set of optics onto millions of microscopic mirrors, which shape and focus the picture, projecting it directly to you.

There’s no screen. Your eyes receive complete, pixel-free images for effortless viewing. And because the experience replicates sight, it’s more like seeing than watching.

Health & Safety Guidelines

*Avegant’s Retinal Imaging Technology allows for long-term comfort, without the typical viewing symptoms of an LCD or OLED display. If you begin to feel tired, intoxicated, dizzy, nauseous, experience migraines, incur digestive problems or are under the influence or alcohol or drugs please take precaution when using the device.

* The Glyph has multiple optical adjustments that allow for a more comfortable viewing standard. Please ensure that the IPD and focal adjustments are aligned in front of the user’s eyes before engaging with content to avoid any of the above symptoms.

* An optional head strap may relieve some pressure that users may feel when wearing the Glyph for long periods of time. Please refer to our Quick Start Guide for more information on how to use the head strap.

* User discretion advised for children under 13 years of age.

Welcome to the Glyph! Only product of its kind!!

ByFireon November 15, 2016

The Avegant Glyph!

I've spent a few weeks with this device and have an in depth review of the expirience inside the Glyph and utilizing it to its full potential

To start it off let's review the Pros/Cons of the Glyph

(Pros)
- One of a kind gadget
- portable 50" HMD / TV
- sharp and bright display
- resolution simulates FULL HD
- connects to anything
- turn your iPhone screen into a portable theater
- very private
- amazing sound quality
- FPV HMD for drone flying ++++ huge

(Cons) not many
- price, it's in the range of all other similar products
- weight, proper positioning and the head strap relives this
- minor blur on the far corners
- 4hr battery, not a killer who doesn't own a portable charger these days.
- trying to pry it off your friends heads!!

Now that we've covered some of the strengths and weaknesses

The Glyph is a very unique gadget, when someone sees you listening to music and suddenly switch it to HMD mode they will be blown away!

The screen resolution is exceptional, gaming looks great, Youtube looks amazing, Netflix is the killer app. Good bye real world.

If you travel this is a must have, if you don't want to watch the kardashians with your wife! Just strap on your Glyph!

This is a golden gift of the gods for flying the DJI Mavic Pro, as of this writing the only way that I can figure out to utilize it for FPV is to use the Nvidia Shield tablet which supports HDMI. As FPV this device is amazing outside in the sunlight especially being able to maintain your peripheral vision and still being able to watch your drone, look at your controller etc.

Review to be continued I'm in the Glyph as of this writing.......

I use these mainly for flying my DJI, (although you need a tablet to connect to the DJI controller) these are well worth the money

If you’re looking for a mobile theater, I'd recommend a Glyph.

ByAndy Coffaroon April 26, 2017

I travel a lot, so I was excited to get the Glyph. I haven’t flown with it yet, but I’ve tested it watching movies and listening to music at home. So far, so good. I get dry eyes watching TV, but no eye soreness with the Glyph which is dope. I’ve worn the headphones a bit with my roommate cooking or making a smoothie. I can hear him, but it’s super muffled. They wrap well around my ears and should sound nice even on a plane.

If you’re looking for a mobile theater, I'd recommend a Glyph.

HD FPV video is awesome but the headsets aren't perfect

ByRobert F.on June 1, 2017

Verified Purchase

I use them for FPV Connex combo. The video looks great. It does seem to have a hard time acquiring the HD signal though and I have reboot everything sometimes to get the picture back. It has always come back though although it can be scary.

You can adjust focus for each eye -THAT IS AWESOME. I don't have to wear my glasses for a sharp picture.
I get clear picture with unnoticeable lag.

Kinda heavy and heavy on the nose. The earphones block outside sound so you have a hard time carrying on a conversation while wearing them.

Damn uncomfortable - ouch. (UPDATE)

ByGuy Brandon July 12, 2016

I purchased this through Avegant directly. I really want to love this headset. It seems like the perfect thing to have on a plane. My only problem is that its so damn uncomfortable I can't use it for more than 30 minutes without head pain. I can't wait till the next model comes out, hopefully they will fix how rigid and uncomfortable it fits.

Update: Looks like Avegant is making subtle changes to the fit. I just had the opportunity to try it, and I can say I am impressed. Its so much more comfortable to wear.

I love how responsive the company is their community. They really listen!

Heavy and uncomfortable, sorry Glyph I really love your concept but we need another 5 years of tech advancement before this is practical

I would like to say I really love this product

ByTravison November 7, 2016

Verified Purchase

I would like to say I really love this product. I love DLP as a technology, and I was excited to see this implementation here. I've been following the Glyph for a while now and decided to finally take the plunge. It wouldn't be too much for me to say that I've been extremely excited to own this, as I am a merchant mariner and the idea of bringing these on board my vessel is much more appealing than dragging an HD TV or Projector to my bunk room every month for work.

The good:

When you are sitting there, with the adjustments dialed in, the picture quality is just amazing. The sound is great, well isolated with good range and volume. The experience is private and relaxing and just perfect for viewing great movies or playing games- which I only dabbled with even though I can see that was going to be the best content to consume in this form factor.

The bad:

I ended up returning my unit but I was EXTREMELY conflicted about it. I wanted to love this product to pieces, and at times I really did. However, I could never get my set to give me a uniform focus across both eyes. I tried it both with my bare eyes and while wearing my contacts and received similar results each way. It seemed I could either get sharpness to the edges with a weird blurriness to the middle or I could achieve a beautiful center picture with ghosting and blurry edges. Now, when you are watching content your brain starts to compensate for some of that and that made the experience alright for me, but I really started thinking about it. Would I pay more than $400 for a TV that looked amazing but had these same trade-offs based off of how I placed the TV in the room? No, I don't think I would. So ultimately for me, I could not justify the purchase price with the video quality. That's not to say I didn't love the thing. I tried for a long weekend to convince myself to keep them but found disappointment each time I put them on and had to readjust everything for 20 minutes to enjoy my videos. I would just fiddle and fiddle and fiddle with the adjustments well past the point where I should have been able to sit back and enjoy the movie. Nobody should have to do that, it's highly disruptive to the otherwise wonderful premium experience.

Other:

Another minor issue I had was with cord management. When you are sitting there with the future on your head, you want to feel unencumbered. However, the cords certainly make that hard to do. Ideally this would be a completely wireless technology. I know VR has a similar problem, I'm not knocking the product one point for this- it's the state of the world of tech right now. But when you are plugged in, especially if you have the charger and the HDMI plugged in, it's kind of a drag. You also have to consider your video source. Are you going to sit by your cable box or Blu-Ray player with your head plugged into it? It's easy enough to attach to your phone or laptop but your cable apps on the phone will recognize you are outputting to a digital display and kill your stream and if you are using your laptop you are now sitting with a display on your head while sitting directly in front of another display which is a little weird and redundant for most people.

Again, I hope there will be a version of this product I will be able to own without reservations- but this one isn't it for me. I didn't see any of the same complaints scanning other reviews. I don't know if it's to do with my eyes or what? I'm going to follow this product into the future and look forward to the possibility of revisiting it.
