Through the Looking Glass…
Posted By: Martin Codd
It was no wonder that the Tim Burton ode to Lewis Carroll received Oscars for achievement in both art direction and costume design. His phantasmagoric tribute is a visual spectacle without compare.
Recent technological advances now enable us to be able to appreciate this extraordinary film in what was previously unimaginable splendor. The new Sony HMZ-T1 is a wearable OLED 3DTV with a 150-inch screen-equivalent and 5.1 virtual surround sound. It weighs less than a pound, offers 720P resolution and will be the must have holiday accessory this season for the film aficionado, fashion dilettante and geek alike.
As content has migrated to personal devices such as smart phones and tablets, the act of viewing has become an increasingly individualized experience. OLEDs are solid-state devices composed of thin films of organic molecules that create light. OLED technology offers an unparalleled opportunity, they are efficient, brighter, and provide for an ultra-thin malleable display format.
I have seen through the looking glass and the future will be OLED!
The HMZ-T1 will be available in Japan in November. Expect it in the US shortly thereafter.

That’s some pretty cool technology. But just like the new 3D TVs, it is difficult to convince users to put on a headset every time they want to watch TV.
