Easily the most unusual highlight of today's [Sony IFA press conference](http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/31/live-from-sony-ifa-2011-press-event/), the [HMZ-T1](http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/31/sonys-head-mounted-3d-visor-is-real-hmz-t1-arrives-in-japan-no/) goes where many other companies have tried and failed. The head-mounted display, [first introduced](http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/06/sonys-3d-head-mounted-display-prototype-face-on/) as a prototype back in January at CES, has finally graduated into a real product. The device is aimed at gamers and TV watchers, generating a 3D image with use of a pair of 0.7-inch OLED panels, which each display separate images, doing away with the ghost imagery that often comes along with 3D displays. The device is a solid piece of hardware, just what one would expect from Sony -- especially for a piece of hardware that'll run you around $600 when it hits the US around the November / December time frame. Check out a hands-on video of the device after the break.
