EYENEO LLC is a world leader in the design and manufacture of high quality,
precision, personal video glasses under the brand name EYETOP. The history of
Eyetop is in providing durable, rugged video glasses to the military and governments
around the world. Uses include targeting, observation and security. Now, Eyetop
has taken this technology and introduced Eyetop video glasses for business and
consumer applications.
Eyetop video glasses allow the user to function in the real world and yet obtain
video information from the small color video monitor built into the Eyetop video
glasses. The user is not cut off or separated from their environment, but can
function normally within it. This is a distinct Eyetop advantage. Eyetop glasses
are not bulky or heavy. Eyetop video glasses weigh only about 2.2 ounces. Eyetop
makes two models available, the Eyetop Classic and Eyetop Centra, designed either
for intermittent short term viewing or long term viewing.
The Eyetop video glasses system consists of two parts. There are the video
glasses. They are adjustable so the image can be aimed directly, in focus at
your eye. Second, there is the electronic control unit. It is about the size
of a small walkman type cassette player. It contains the electronics and batteries.
Four AA batteries will power the Eyetop for about 7 hours. It has control adjustments
for color, brightness, tint and hue. A default mode will return the adjustments
to original factory neutral positions. The control unit includes a detachable
belt clip.
Connection to a video source is easy. The control unit has the industry standard
RCA female jack. Simply connect any composite (normal video) signal to the Eyetop
to view the video image in the Eyetop video glasses. Devices that connect to
the Eyetop can include: video game, DVD player, VCR, camcorder, professional
video camera, computer, spy camera, model aircraft or car camera, TV tuner or
personal video media device. Eyetop will accept both NTSC (North America) and
PAL (Europe) video signals. The conversion is automatically done by the Eyetop
control unit.
The use of Eyetop video glasses is limited only by your imagination. Eyetop
video glasses over an alternative to bulky, heavy CRT (TV screens). Wherever
a video monitor is used is a potential application for Eyetop video glasses.
One advantage is that the Eyetop video image will not get washed out by the
sun. Another is that the user need not turn away from what they are viewing
in the real world to look at the Eyetop video monitor.
The Centra comes with a blue tint lens that includes Ultra Violet protection.
It is available only in a right eye model. It includes stereo audio earbuds.
The control unit included with the Centra also has left and right audio input
jacks to pass the audio signals to the earbuds. The video image can be focused,
or moved up/down. Multi position click stops allow the user to quickly move
the image left or right. These adjustments allow you to position the viewing
module so it is directly aimed at your eye.
The viewing module is located vertically in an "at rest" eye position.
This is a position that is lower in your field of view. It is like the position
for reading with bifocal glasses. This is the position of the eye when you are
sitting in your easy chair and relaxing.
Second, to exaggerate, the viewing module is closer to the nose than the ear.
Functionally, the Centra is designed for someone who wants to view video information
or video entertainment for a long period of time. Thus it is ideal for watching
a movie. Yet, the wearer still maintains the ability to be aware of or move
about within their environment. The left eye is still free to focus on the real
world. Or, by looking up, both eyes can instantly see the environment.
Since the viewing module position matches the position of the eye at rest,
virtually no eye fatigue occurs. An optional clear lens (ACE1C1007) is available
for the Centra for use in low light environments.
