Ora-X smartphone headphones look like an ‘80s vision of the future with flip-down augmented reality display


A new set of headphones is looking to muscle in on the grave of Google Glass and run with the concept that failed to fly first time around.

Optivent have designed Ora-X, a set of headphones that feature just one AR panel that can be folded back when not in use.


The Ora-X runs on Android 4.4 KitKat and is controlled via a touchpad on the right earcup.

This time around, audio-related apps are being touted as a good reason to own them, such as DJ tools for beatmatching, etc.

On the sound side, they feature 50mm drivers, while on the arm there is also a camera that allows the capture of POV videos.

Optivent has launched this on Indiegogo and hopes to raise $150,000 to get them to market.

If they make it, they will cost around $600 for the regular model, while the Luxe edition with dock will cost $700.
