Abstract: Although it's designed for use with a PlayStation 3 or Blu-ray drive, the real potential of this new head-mounted display (HMD) only shines when it's paired with the sheer power of the PC. When attached to a gaming PC, the HMZ-T1 single-handedly re...
Excellent 3D effect, Great colour and black levels
Uncomfortable after half an hour, Low resolution (720p), It's hard to get the whole image in focus
Sony's Personal 3D Viewer is definitely a niche product. We can't see many units selling -- it's not a very sociable product, it can be uncomfortable and it really only appeals to 3D fans -- but if you can get it set up correctly it's able to produce a go...

The headset is heavy and becomes quite uncomfortable with extended use. It's not possible to get the whole screen in focus at once, resulting in blurring at the edges. The effects of its lower resolution are apparent: detail levels aren't up there with an

Last fortnight, I was a guest at the Sony Showcase Building in Ginza, Tokyo, to take a look at one of the more interesting and unique new gadgets from the electronics giant in some years. The HMZ-T1, otherwise known by the somewhat more interesting m...
Abstract: With millions of dollars you might be able to squeeze a 62-foot screen into your mansion's basement, but that certainly won't negate the logistical issues. Do you realize just how big 62-feet is? Think medium sized sail boat and suddenly you'll realize ho...
