Avegant glyph

This Kickstarter-funded audiovisual unit uses a virtual retinal display from a single LED light source and millions of micro-mirrors. By beaming an image directly on to your retina, it creates a 1,280 x 720 display (per eye) without the need for a physical screen. The Glyph can also beam images in 3D.

The headphoness provide stereo audio with impressive bass and clear high end to complete the setup. $499

Razer Project Christine

The PC-gaming brand known for its striking aesthetics has launched its first desktop, a modular computer called Christine. Razer follows through on its concept promises: in 2012, Project Fiona became the Edge tablet. The modules house RAM, graphics, speakers, processors, Blu-ray drives and a visual LED control and maintenance section, each of which can be upgraded. £tbc

Wired especially likes the sleeve-mounted wind-electricity turbine.
