Maybe instead of spending $3,500 on Apple's upcoming Vision Pro mixed reality headset, you just need some sort of virtual reality headset for books.
I bought the Vision Pro.. What Apple did NOT tell you!
The $350 Sol Reader is a new twist on e-readers. The Sol is a headset designed solely for reading books. And some experts say the Sol is the perfect way to spend quality time in a digital environment.
“To focus on reading books instead of mixed reality entertainment, users can create a dedicated reading environment,” software developer Simon Bacher told Lifewire in an email interview. “You can set specific goals and time limits for reading and engage in activities that promote mindfulness and concentration, such as meditation or exercise.”
The Sol Reader is a headset that looks like glasses, but has two e-ink displays that show you the text of any book you want to read. The e-ink displays with pancake lenses create a virtual screen before your eyes. They have a resolution of 300 PPI and support 16 grayscale. The device is currently available for pre-order.
