 So I'm trying here to glyph here for the first time. There's 720p in each eye That's really cool. So Let's do the interview right here So, so who are you? Hey, I'm Eric. I'm Eric Trabold with Avagant the makers of the Avagant glyph And I'm heading sales business development and marketing over there. So there's two 720p displays here What is the technology they're using? We have a very unique technology here We call this a virtual retinal display. So it's a personal movie theater without a screen So if you look into the glyph, you see light coming out of the glyph and we actually project the picture right onto your retina And use your retina as the screen. So it's a DLP, correct It's a DLP technology. So there are Texas Instruments chips in here and there's two of them There's two of them actually 720p correct 720p per eye and the unique thing is Those chips actually are powered by two low-powered LEDs that project light on an array of two million micro mirrors and those mirrors reflect the picture right back into your eye All right, that's that's how do you design this? So basically we thought about like what is a form factor that people feel comfortable with and we know a lot of us like to Wear our headphones and this is how we came up with this form factor of the glyph It looks like a pair of headphones. You can wear this a headphone if you want to but Usually our customers to wear the glyph like this as their personal mobile theater Whoa, that's cool. So this is for sale, right? The product is for sale We officially launched a product at CES last year starting to sell it in the US in June of 2016 and now we are very happy to bring this product to Europe We actually started selling it in Europe shortly before Christmas And now rolling it out to the UK, Germany, Italy, France and Spain in Cuba. So what's the price? The price point is 499 pounds in the UK of 549 euros for the rest of the other countries that I mentioned and the sound is pretty awesome The sound is really awesome. We use Harman Kardon drivers in here So it's pretty high-quality audio and our audio engineers. They optimize the audio for movies and gaming And it's not too heavy on the nose It's not too heavy on the nose So it weighs about 440 grams a little bit more than high-quality headphones with they're usually around 400 grams What we do is with the glyph you can actually take out this nosepiece And we give you four different nosepieces and you can find the right nosepiece that fits best for your nose To give you the best comfort. There's a lot of adjustments you have right here for all the different things that people would need to adjust Can you show what you have? Correct So you can adjust the IPD that's the distance between your pupils because all of us have a different distance between our eyes So you can move those sliders in or out depending on the distance of your pupils One of the most important adjustments and a very nice thing to adjust is the focus Which you can adjust by turning those dials less than right So we allow people that wear glasses to take off those glasses make it more comfortable for them And you can adjust the focus for minus 7 to plus 1 Our last adjustment is the nosepiece if you feel that the screen is a little too low You can push out the nosepiece and adjust the height properly so that you see a full screen That's awesome. What's the background of the company? So the background of the company is the company was founded by two engineers Ellen Evans and Edward Tang They originally developed this technology for the military because the military requested headsets that you can wear for a very long time Comfortably then while developing those headsets they most of the time tried consumer contents and mainly movies And then they thought like why don't we create a device for consumers so that they can watch movies comfortably for a very long time So it's tested to be comfortable. Yes on the eyes is great. Correct So the beauty about this technology is this retinal imaging technology That you can wear it for a very long time because it works like natural sight think about for example this table We see the table because light reflects off this table into our eyes and this is a check exactly what we mimic here with a glyph We mimic natural sight so that you have the most comfortable experience watching movies or playing games for a very long time So it's different from the other kind of micro display technologies that That shine LCD or led or something like that. Yeah, correct. Something else is happening here For example, let's say if you wear other virtual reality headsets and HTC Vive and Oculus Rift or Samsung Gear VR is the best example What happens with those headsets is they put basically a phone screen very close to your eyes Yeah, and what happens there is because they put a phone screen there and then they have lenses to magnify the screen You see a screen door effect and you see pixelation. We absolutely don't have any pixelation or screen door effect with our technology So the first customers are happy the first customers are very happy They're using it for many interesting use cases. We created it to watch movies They use it for mobile gaming as well They use it for flying drones as a drone display and they actually start using it for productivity Which we would not have anticipated in the in the first place So what they do is because it has an HDMI connector They simply plug this into their PCs their laptops while they are on the go and use this as a very personal screen So that they can watch documents and work without being disturbed by the outside world So you can if you are somebody who has a real job That you don't want the person sitting next to you on the airplane sees what you're doing This is the product for you. Exactly. Correct. Imagine like you are a lawyer You're working on a very important contract or you are salesperson Exactly, yeah You don't want people to see your confidential data and the glyph is basically your first a personal screen that you can take with you Wherever you are and if you are so immersed into your work You might work even better because the screen is just like there's no way to get distracted you as long as you wear it You're actually working exactly. So you're actually working. You're very focused But the beauty still is that you also can't work see documents that you have in front of you or even still use your Keyboard in your mouth because we have this peripheral vision. It's also something currently our headsets don't allow you because they block you out It's basically a shoebox in front of a few of face with a glyph. I can still see you I can still communicate and still interact with the outside world and And so DLP is really happy about this product, right? They're showing you off and stuff Absolutely interestingly Texas instruments originally questioned if it if it is even possible to put DLP in a head-mounted display And we are the first company to prove that this is possible and actually the result is pretty astonishing So next generation is going to be 1080p and 4k, right? We are currently not disclosing our product roadmap But there are certainly several improvements that we will make to the next generation of this product
