This 420g head-worn device is capable of displaying what appears to be a 750-inch screen from 20m away without, well, finding space for a 750-inch screen.

If you're of the view that personal entertainment should be personal, then Sony's new Personal 3D Viewer may be the go for you.

The snappily titled HMZ-T1 features two OLED panels with 720p resolution. This, according to Sony, allows the system to provide cinema-sized viewing in a tiny package, while OLED technology should ensure that the owner enjoys deep blacks and rich colour reproduction. Having two separate screens, one for each eye, enables 3D playback with, it's claimed, no crosstalk.

A shade plate on the viewer's underside is designed to block out ambient light, and the unit's integrated headphones deliver a virtual 5.1-channel sound experience. The head unit that's worn by the user weighs around 420g, and is connected via a 3.5m cable to a processing unit and its single HDMI input.

100 HMZ-T1s are available for pre-order now, with regular shipments arriving in the land of free beaches, ice-cold beer and cricket-filled summers in mid to late March, for the cool price of AU$899.
