Avegant Glyph Founder's Edition Unboxing, Feb 4, 2016 24 images Created 4 Feb 2016

In January of 2014, the Glyph personal theater launched on Kickstarter, raising $1,509,506 from a $250,000 goal. 2 years later, the Avegant Glyph has finally shipped! I stopped by Avegant HQ on Feb 4, 2016, to pick up my Glyph Founder's Edition.
