There are a few reasons virtual reality hasn’t exploded yet. First, the technology is only finally getting to the point where it’s good enough to make everything believable (not to mention, keep you from barfing). Second, the headsets are only somewhat portable. And third, they look more ridiculous than wearing Google Glass on top of a pair of Ray-Bans. The Avegant Glyph is ready to solve all those problems. The headphones, which look eerily reminiscent of a pair of Beats, actually hide a VR headset in the band. Designed with the traveler in mind, the Avengant Glyph Headphones should be able to connect right to a phone or tablet to display content off there. Look for them this coming Fall.
