[IFA 2011]Sony announces HMZ-T1 Head Mounted 3D Display, makes 3D officially cool again

Sony has announced the HMZ-T1, a new Head Mounted 3D Display, which they like to call “Personal 3D Viewer”. It’s basically the equivalent of watching a 750-inch 3D TV from a distance of 20m, along with a pair of surround sound headphones, except this time it’s personal.The crux of the HMZ-T1 are the two OLED panels.
