Sony unveils innovative wearable 3D viewer headset

A HEAD-MOUNTED gadget intended to show 3-D films and games as an alternative to watching them on TV has been unveiled by electronics giant Sony.

The company said the €550 “HMZ personal 3-D viewer” is set to go on sale in November in Japan, and is planned for the US and Europe, perhaps in time for Christmas, although dates have not yet been set.

Resembling a futuristic visor, HMZ, which stands for “head mounted display,” is worn like chunky goggles-and-earphones in one.
