- Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2017I don't have the fear of holding up my i Pad and being scared of dropping it. It's a nice combination of the MRI machine they use in CHLA.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2017When I first got this box I was really excited. The packaging was great and it felt like opening an early Christmas present. The quality seems superb, I mean it really seem like you're purchasing an expensive product and you're getting your money worth. The video quality is also great, I don't know how to explain it but it's really like watching an HD movie. But here is where this product fails, first of all the entire head set is build put pressure around your head which gives it an uncomfortable feeling after a while. They did not think to make the material to made of something expandable rather you're forcing a U shape plastic to curve around your head. I had to return mine because the seam on the plastic was coming a part because of the design. They could have at least make it so that it can wrap around your head by so some kind of light spring tension rather than a hard plastic. I mean, didnt they think people have different head sizes? They've thought about every thing else on adjusting the visual focus and alignment, but no one thought that people have different skull. Another thing is that, this is not a light item I mean I can tell you it's more than a pound. You have to remember, anything that's more than 1lbs on your head becomes uncomfortable after a while, specially the pressure point is on the nose part. So two things that this will put pressure on your head: The nose and the side of your head by the ears. Only 3 stars because they really did do a great job as far a video quality and eye adjustment and sound quality. But what is all that if you can't wear it at all?

- Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2017I was able to get this headset to work when connected to my HP desktop computer equipped with an NVIDIA graphics processor card, but my Dell laptop would not recognize it and so would not send a video signal to the HDMI port. Using it only with my desktop would have been OK, but then after less than a day the headset stopped projecting meaningful images -- just strange fuzzy squiggles. Sending it back for a refund.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2017Works fine, I have no idea why people complain. I mean understand it has an HDMI port! (micro that is) Works fine with ps4, xbox one, my chromecast etc. It's just a monitor on your head
People complain about the four corners not being sharp. I agree, I wish that the lenses were larger to have a bigger view of the screen. I can see them but once you adjust the test screen properly, there's a little darkness/fuzzy at the very corners edge.
Hold a credit card about a foot in front of your face, image it's razor sharp....that's what this feels like. It doesn't have a lot of depth or distance to the picture, ie it doesn't feel like watching a massive screen that's feet away like the PSVR 2d mode.
Everything is razor sharp. There is no pixel gap/ screen door like there is on my PSVR or my htc vive.
The 3d is perfect, any SBS movie, hold the left top button down and instantly, no cross-talk, better than any 3d set i've ever seen. Wonderful.
Man is this thing bright, almost so bright that it's a little hard to use at night, I wish they added a few more light options, i've never used it on medium or high!

- Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2017I have been following the Glyph for years, ever since its debut on Kickstarter. My objective the entire time was to have a replacement for my television so I could watch my movies, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, etc anywhere and still feel like I've got my own personal movie theater. Thus far, the Glyph was the best option. Sure, you can use an Oculus Rift, but the promise of the Glyph's technology was way better and should allow for a much more comfortable viewing opportunity.
I didn't care for head tracking or 3D immersion or flying drones or anything fancy. I just wanted an amazing personal theater with good sound.
It is with a heavy heart that I write here that the Glyph is not yet living up that dream. Having read countless reviews on the Glyph, I had heard of some issues, but I was hoping that Avegant would release a second iteration sometime. Sadly, they seem to be focusing on their light field technology instead of the Glyph. Alas, I went ahead and finally decided to buy my Glyph and see if it would live up to my purposes.
The GOOD:
* This thing is beautiful. It looks and feels like the product was made by Apple. Fantastic packaging, quality materials, everything solid.
* When you finally manage to tweak the screen to your liking, it's a gorgeous viewing experience. I would just lay back on my bed and watch House of Cards for hours and it looks like I'm viewing a 50" screen from 7 feet away.
* The audio is fantastic. I'm not an audiophile but I felt immersed while viewing.
The BAD:
* The weight. People had mentioned it's heavy, and yes, it is. You can mitigate this weight by using the head strap or just laying down, but it's a solid product.
* Adjusting the display. Many folks have complained about this and it's true: it takes a while to get the display just right. Even when I found I had arrived at the perfect location, I would still find myself tweaking the focus or eye portals during a show.
* This is not designed for people with massive heads. I have a 72mm interpupillary distance, which is at least 7mm larger than anyone else I know, and even with the portals shifted to the furthest point away from each other, I could never see the full screen in both eyes. I felt like I was regularly fighting to see the whole screen. It was small, but super annoying.
* The left audio channel buzzing/humming sound. This is the reason that I am actually returning my Glyph, because it was defective. I thought perhaps the buzzing was coming because I was charging and watching at the same time, but even when I disconnected both the iPhone and Glyph from charging and was running both on battery, I could still hear this buzzing in the left audio channel. Several other reviews online had talked of this, and while it again is not super obnoxious, it really does destroy the experience, especially if you're watching a scene where there's a serious quiet moment.
* Difficult to find information online. Amazon sells both the Glyph and the Glyph Founder's Edition, but what is the difference? I tweeted Avegant to ask them, but they did not respond and it's been several days. I also tried to create an account on their online forum, but I've been waiting for approval for a week as well.
I think the idea of what Avegant is doing is fantastic, and ideally a perfect world would involve some form of embedded computer with perhaps some remote control or interface to the OS that would allow me to choose Netflix, Hulu, etc rather than just using the Glyph as an extra TV screen. But that would also add more weight, which is something we would definitely want to avoid. I also would advise that Avegant find a way to get that screen to 1080p. It's subtle at this point, but when I would use the Glyph at 720p and then watch the same clip on my iPad 9.7, the difference in quality was obvious.
So that would be my advice to Avegant:
* Make it lighter
* Support 1080p or higher.
* Make it self-contained so I don't _need_ to have an iPhone or iPad or something else to hook it up to. I'm sure some fork of Android would do the job.
* Support people with bigger heads! Perhaps just make the little eye portals bigger?
That's pretty much it. The device is beautiful, the idea is fantastic, and I suspect Avegant will do great things with their light field technology, but the current v1 of the Glyph is just not there yet.
