TOKYO: Spider-Man leaps from the top of a building and swings out towards you, cloak fluttering so close you can almost touch it — at work, on a train, in a car, or wherever you are.

Sony Corp said on Wednesday its new 3D device offers a movie experience that can be had anywhere, with a head-mounted display that lets users also watch videos and play videogames.

The sleek, futuristic visor-like headset — not much wider than a pair of sunglasses — covers the face from the eyes to the ears, where there are earphones attached, and weighs 420 grams (15 oz).

Clear, vivid images are produced with the help of two OLED displays located inside, creating a deep feeling of immersion.

“The hardest part for us was to make it as small-sized as possible, while maintaining high definition, but we succeeded,” said Shigeru Kato, a Sony vice president.
