i-glasses
i-glasses is a series of head-mounted displays from i-O Display Systems. Some products include composite NTSC video input.
The trademark "i-glasses" and the distribution rights were eventually transferred to Ilixco, Inc.
In 1996, i-glasses were known as "Virtual i-glasses".[1]
As of 1996, the company was selling two models: Virtual i-glasses VPC and Virtual i-glasses VTV.[2] The VPC was for personal computers (PCs) and the VTV was for video uses like watching television (TV). The main functional difference is that the VPC had a built-in 3D tracker for the head.
In the 2000s the products were available at i-glassesstore.com.[3]
