I used to do IT for dental offices and we had one client that had much newer versions of this so patients could watch movies while getting their teeth cleaned. It made the screen look like a 50 foot movie screen, and being before the days of OLEDs and tiny monitors, I could just not wrap my head around how much fidelity came out of those tiny LCDs.

I was in the navy back in early 2000s. I had a top rack with lots of overhead room. I actually bought these and ziptied a PS1 and eventually a PS2 into the overhead and ran an extension cord around the corner to a convenient ceiling height power plug. On long deployments when there was no training or drills i could just lay in my rack, put these on, and play any PS1 game and eventually watch any DVD i wanted to, any time I wanted to. Was so good.

Sony made so much cool stuff and don't really get enough credit for how innovative they are. Glasstron is basically a very early HMD and Sony made one about 10 years later also called the HMZ-T1 and both of them were fantastic quality for their times, like your own persona cinema display. In addition to that Sony also invented the 3.5' floppy disk, co-invented the CD and SACD, invented memory stick duo, the SPDIF connector, LDAC bluetooth codec, invented portable music with the Walkman and Discman, invented Blu-Ray, had the first super thin laptops (VAIO) way before the Macbook Air came out, the first OLED TV (XEL-1), Triluminous display tech (which Samsung later stole for their QLED TVs), the best CRTs in the industry (Trinitron), the first OLED gaming handheld (Vita), the most popular game console of all time (PS2), the first handhelds that could play movies at high quality (PSP UMDs), water resistant phones, phones with 1 inch camera sensors, 21:9 aspect ratio phones before anyone else (Xperia), popularized mirrorless cameras (Alpha), beat Bose at wireless NC headphones, etc and to top it all of they made robotic dogs too (AIBO) Sony is really one of the GOAT tech companies

fun fact, there was a whole industry for this and kinda still is for use with FPV Drones, they are basically the exact same, analog video input, modern ones have digital video in, you can put anything you want in them, but their purpose if basically to be a portable radio television, tuning into the TV channel being broadcast by a drone. legitimate Analog and Digital TV you can broadcast yourself and watch anywhere in range with a compact head unit. some even support head rotation tracking, so you can look around if you mount the camera on some servos. the reason i say "was" is because most of the goggles have become a bit too integrated, you can only use the manufacturer's system and protocol, which aren't interoperable with others of the same type, but smart people have put whatever they want still. DJI is the hard one to crack, but we have hobbyist options like Walksnail (real name) and HDZero, though of course analog still exists and will forever

I really wanted one of these back when they first came out. I mean they would've been the perfect way to play video games at all hours of the night and not wake anyone else up. I never really forgot that dream either, I have a Quest 3 headset now that I use nearly every day.

I remember when similar things like this were out over 10 years ago. With the impression of 50" screen in vision . You could also use hdmi(with converter from most mobiles) . They only cost around 50 bucks then

That is impressive as hell for 1998. I remember that year, and this was some legit futuristic shit.

Oh wow that looks a lot better than I would've thought, the S-Video support from Sony knows no bounds, they really incorporated that into as much stuff as they could. It's wild owning a pair of Xreal/Nreal glasses now and seeing that even back then there was a similar product. We've come a long way trying to make TVs portable.

In 1998, I was a junior in high school and getting suspended for 10 days for hacking the school's computers including the principal, dean, guidance counselor, 15 teachers, and the email server. The next year, my senior year, they put me in charge of the web server to build the school's first website. True story.

@@shoeliver Having the high school experience of managing a website helped land me my first real job at the American Online call center in Jacksonville, Florida. I worked there from 1999 to 2002. Then, they opened a Sykes call center in my home town and I worked on their Gateway Computers account as a tech advisor. I would walk the call center floor helping the regular techs who answered the phones with computer problems they couldn't solve. Gateway canceled their contract with Sykes so I moved over to the MSN Internet account and answered the phones for a year. Yes, it was a demotion just because they didn't have a spot for me on the advisor team for MSN. That's why I left and went to work for Cingular Wireless. I was there when they shut down all the analog tech like bag and car phones. We had old people for days bringing those things in to swap them for a candy bar style Nokia. I was also at Cingular for the release of the very first iPhone. We were in a small, rural town so our line wasn't as big as everyone else's but I did make 3 months commission in one week. And I had one customer drive 2 hours because all the other stores had sold out. He bought 6 iPhones and all the accessories for them. The receipt was 11 feet long and totaled over $4000. Adjusted for inflation, that's over $6000 today. I was also there when AT&T bought us. I then worked for RadioShack for a few years. Anyway, moral of the story? Stay in school, kids, and use your talents for good.
