Epson Moverio BT200 Review

Epson Moverio BT200 Review

Moving on, the BT200 can project 960 X 540 resolution picture over both eyes, creating an amazing stereoscopic image which is equivalent to an 80 inch screen viewed from a nice 15-16 feet away. Tech geeks will notice that the resolution of each image almost identical to the one rendered by the Playstation Vita console, while the combined effect of both the images is equivalent to a Full HD 1080p display. The display goes on to offer 24 bit colour, which is punchy, even when you use the lighter filter, or no filter, if you are interested in that experience.

The aforementioned control box runs Android 4.0, and features a very down to earth  spec list. What we are looking at is a 1.2GHz dual-core TI OMAP 4480 CPU with a modest 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage which can be expanded via the trusted SD card. The box also comes with other functionality options like the GPS , compass, gyroscope and accelerometer. Using the box may be a bit tricky at times for those who are acclimatized to the capacitive touchscreens, but trust me when I tell you, the control box does a stellar job, compared to the on glass controls of Google Glass.

Coming to the possible applications of the BT200, well, there is really not much you can do as of now, as the product is not exactly world ready, as I already mentioned many times before. However, Epson has included a few trial software for those who want to experience the BT200. The Android Play Store is visibly missing, but Epson claims that its on the way, along with their own dedicated app store. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t run any apps on this device ( Sideload the APKs for now ) . A few of the international models come pre loaded with Netflix and a few other entertainment applications to give you an overall feel of the various aspects and capabilities of the device. Though movie viewing is not really its forte, the BT200 does a decent enough job of letting you watch mobile videos, while the earphones bundled in the package give you a nice immersive experience. Again, all these are just for your reference, and I am pretty sure that the future iterations of the BT200 will come with better in-built features and media capabilities as well.
