12/10/2001

Update - Olympus started shipping a high-resolution version, the FMD-700 with a 800 x 600 pixel resolution in 2001. Another company stepped in since Sony left a vacuum after they stopped shipping their consumer goggles: Cy-Visor at www.personaldisplay.com. Their US partner is Personal Display Systems at www.personaldisplays.com

Eye-Trek FMD-150W
2/15/2000
A number of you out there have probably purchased either an Aiwa, Panasonic, Pioneer, Sharp or Sony portable DVD player and are enjoying the benefits of a personal laptop cinema experience. One of the drawbacks of truly enjoying the movie presentation is the small screen size of these portable DVD players, when compared to watching a movie on either your home entertainment system or even a standard television screen.

Well, Olympus has come up with a cutting-edge solution that provides an absolutely awesome viewing experience. Called the "Eye-Trek" FMD-150W, these personal entertainment "goggles" give you a wide-screen image which can be compared to watching a 62" screen from a distance of 6-½ feet.

The emphasis here is really on the WIDE-SCREEN, 16:9 aspect ratio and the displays outstanding resolution. This is the space where technical design is used to elevate viewing experience to new hights. More about that in the review.
