Inspect-a-Gadget is a monthly segment where we feature a tech toy our editors have been playing with.
Waking up in the morning, would you like to see the weather forecast and messages from friends pop up right before your eyes? Perhaps you’d prefer traffic notifications so you can pick the best route to work, or to show your girlfriend your sunrise view as you sit atop a mountain playing the ukulele?
Google Glass visualized those fantasies and nearly made them possible – before they announced last February that the Glass, as we knew it, was going away.
But Google’s vision (or perhaps the device that Freeza wears in the Dragon Ball manga) inspired the tech-savvy, opening up another possible dimension of life and redefining what we know as reality.
Introducing the Ora-X: the world’s first augmented-reality headphones. They’re Beats plus Google Glass, only better. An invention of California-based tech company Optinvent, who describe its device as a “wearable tablet,” Ora-X is powered by Android, with built-in apps and an eight-hour-long battery life. Now you can catapult angry birds at green pigs right in front of you, any time, any place.
Feel bored on a train? Pick up the Ora-X and enjoy a movie. And if you’re hiking along a trail in Yunnan and come across a spectacular view, just tell Ora-X to take a photo and share it to your Facebook.
