An experimental helmet from Toshiba Corp. gives its wearer the visual experience of being someplace else.
Inside the headgear from the Japanese electronics maker, a 40-centimeter screen can show a vista that is synched with the wearer's head movements, giving the illusion of actually being there.
The 3 kilogram helmet -- squared off in the back and rounded, bubble-like, in the front -- has infrared sensors at the top that detect which way the wearer's head is moving, said company spokeswoman Kaori Hiraki.
The projector in the back of the helmet shows images corresponding to the head movements on the screen inside the helmet, giving the wearer an illusion of immediacy and realness, according to Tokyo-based Toshiba...
Part of the effect comes from how the helmet shuts out the real world, she said.
Must be a whole other world in there...
