The Epson Moverio BT-30C Smart Glasses offer an immersive, hands-free, and borderless experience, transforming personal theatre and augmented reality. These smart glasses are designed to enhance your visual and auditory interactions with digital content, providing a unique blend of privacy and engagement.
Function Description
The Moverio BT-30C utilizes Epson's unique Si-OLED (Silicon - Organic Light-Emitting Diode) display technology to project large-screen, high-definition images directly into your field of vision. This see-through display allows you to overlay digital content onto the real world, creating an augmented reality experience. The Si-OLED display delivers richer colors and brighter contrasts, ensuring a high-quality visual experience. With a wide panel (16:9) and high-quality binocular optics, the BT-30C provides a clear and vibrant display.
The device features 9-axis sensors, including a motion sensor, compass, gyroscope, and accelerometer, which enable interactive augmented reality applications. These sensors track your head movements and orientation, allowing for dynamic and responsive digital overlays. The BT-30C connects to smart devices via USB Type-C, supporting Display Port Alternate Mode, which means it can be powered by and receive video input from compatible smartphones, tablets, or computers. This plug-and-play functionality allows you to enjoy existing apps and content from your smart device on the Moverio BT-30C's display.
Audio is handled through a 3.5 mm 4-pole mini jack, compatible with CTIA standard earphones that include a microphone. This enables both audio playback and microphone input for communication or interactive applications. The device also includes an IF Box (Interface Box) that houses the USB Type-C input, brightness control, and volume control, providing easy access to essential adjustments.
The Moverio Link app, available for Android devices, further enhances the user experience by offering adjustable screen brightness and volume levels, a screen lock function for the smart device, and 2D/3D mode support (3D split format). This app allows for seamless control and customization of the smart glasses' settings.
Usage Features
The Moverio BT-30C is designed for versatile use, catering to various scenarios where a private, large-screen viewing experience is beneficial.
- Personal Theatre Experience: Whether you're commuting on public transportation, on a long trip, or relaxing at home, at a café, or in a library, the BT-30C allows you to enjoy videos, movies, and articles without intruding on your privacy. The large-screen projection creates a personal theatre environment, letting you watch content in any posture comfortably.
- Augmented Reality (AR): The seamless AR integration, made possible by the high-resolution and high-quality display, allows digital content to blend naturally with the real world. The display's high contrast ratio (100,000:1) ensures that the boundaries of the digital interface disappear, providing a more natural AR experience.
- Hands-Free Operation: The smart glasses offer a hands-free experience, allowing you to interact with digital content while keeping your hands free for other tasks. This is particularly useful for productivity applications, gaming, or simply enjoying media on the go.
- Connectivity: The BT-30C is compatible with Windows 10 or higher and Android 7.0 or later devices that support USB Type-C Display Port Alternate Mode. This broad compatibility ensures that a wide range of smart devices can be used as a source for content and power.
- Adjustable Controls: The IF Box provides convenient access to brightness control (levels 0-20) and volume control (levels 0-20), allowing users to easily adjust the viewing and listening experience to their preference. The Moverio Link app offers additional software-based controls for brightness, volume, and other settings.
- 2D/3D Mode: The device supports 2D/3D conversion, enabling the display of 3D content in a left/right split format. This feature enhances the immersive experience for compatible media.
- Screen Lock Function: Through the Moverio Link app, users can activate a screen lock function for their smart device, which dims the screen. To unlock, users can select the "Prevent Accidental Operation" icon or shake the smart device, preventing unintended interactions.
Maintenance Features
The Moverio BT-30C is designed with user comfort and practical maintenance in mind.
- Comfortable Wearability: The improved design focuses on comfort for long-duration wear, with better weight distribution. Temple cushions are provided to support head widths from 140mm to 175mm, ensuring a snug and comfortable fit for various users. The headset itself weighs approximately 95g (without shade, harness, and IF Box), making it lightweight and easy to wear.
- Wearing Over Spectacles: For users who wear prescription glasses, a nose pad is provided to allow the BT-30C to be worn comfortably over spectacles. The headset can be worn over spectacles for head widths of approximately 145mm.
- Attaching Lenses: Lens holders are available for users who prefer to wear the BT-30C without spectacles. Opticians can attach custom prescription lenses to these holders, which then attach to the BT-30C headset. This provides a tailored visual experience for individuals with specific vision needs. (Note: The cost of lenses and optician services are borne by the customer.)
- Magnetic Shades: Magnetic shades can be attached to the BT-30C to enhance the viewing experience, particularly in bright environments. These shades create a movie theatre-like atmosphere by blocking out external light, improving contrast and immersion.
- IPx2 Water Resistance: The headset component of the BT-30C is rated IPx2 for water resistance, meaning it is protected against dripping water when tilted up to 15 degrees. This offers a degree of protection against light splashes or sweat, enhancing durability during everyday use.
- Power Management: The product is powered by the battery in your smart device. It's important to ensure the smart device has sufficient battery capacity before using the BT-30C to maintain continuous operation. The USB Type-C connection supports power delivery at 5.0 V/0.9 A.
- Developer Support: Epson provides a developers site with SDKs for Android OS and Windows, allowing developers to create dedicated apps that utilize the BT-30C's sensors and features. This fosters a vibrant ecosystem for new applications and functionalities.
