Epson Moverio BT100 Specs, Pros and Cons

Epson Moverio BT100 is a futuristic device. Wear this and you're bound to grab eyeballs. This device makes you look like a blind man from future. This gadget is a personal entertainment system  on which you can watch movies, browse the net and a lot more. The wired glasses become your display. The base unit is Wi-Fi capable and has a rechargeable battery, storage, memory slots, track pad and directional buttons for navigation. You can even watch 3D content.

Pros

• This unit plays FullHD 1080p videos and its Dolby-enhanced sound make for clear audio. It plays 3D content well.
• Although you're viewing a micro-projection LCD, the perceived image is close to the 80 inches that Epson states in its spec sheet.
• Transferring content to the device and navigating through its user interface is simple.
• The headset and the base unit are sturdily built. BT100 comes with a durable protective case and this makes it easier to carry.

Cons

•  This device can't play MKV format.
• Surfing internet using its touchpad and directional keys is a bit troublesome.
• The battery life of this device which is around 4 to 5 hours is inadequate.
• This device runs on Android but there's no Play Store. You can copy APK's applications onto a memory card and use them though. But it's a long and roundabout process.
• It is heavy. Wear the headset for an hour and you start feeling the weight on your nose. You cannot move your head freely for fear of the unit falling off.
