Living the stories on each page, Solreader revolutionizes reading in the Metaverse with its VR Ebook Reader

The Metaverse, some say is dead, but is it really? Or just waiting to materialize with killer products and services?

 

 

Readers need to read and living literally on each page one reads is but a reader's dream.

 

The promise made by most Metaverse companies like Meta, the parent company to Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and now Threads is that the Meta universe was going to bring about immersive experiences. 

 

How this was going to be achieved is something that even they are yet to find out. Typically, most Metaverse companies look at the concept of a fictional and virtual universe and simply think of building a "social space" but is this really what people want? 

 

According to diverse sources, 2021 statistics show that about 46.4% of the world population are introverts, a number which I find surprising and expect to be higher in current times. 

 

That said, it's important to note that this includes ambiverts, people who generally fall under sometimes being introverted and other times extrovert. 

 

What's here to note is that for the Metaverse to materialize and scale, it has to be accommodative to all personalities while distinctive, allowing each one to function on its own lane. 

 

Introverts have no care for a "social 2.0 universe", they'd rather live in a cave eating cereals and nuts or on an Island singing to birds, and as we know it, there's a general perception of introverts being more into reading. 

 

That said, Solreader brings a niche product to the table that doesn't try to sum up and monetize the entire world population, but focuses on segmented demands - readers need to experience each word on a page. 

 

Sol as stated on their website is a reading technology company making tools to illuminate the mind.

 

Picture how it is that each story one reads is often accompanied by imagery the mind creates as one reads, making the process similar to watching a film, just without the noise. 

 

Sols' VR Ebook Reader looks to bring immersive experiences to reading with its deep focus, total comfort and true escape reading technology. Readers can now say goodbye to distractions and do what they love doing most - living each word.

 

 

As seen in the image above, Sols' VR Ebook Reader is built with simplicity and comfort in mind. Looking like a pair of goggles but with a fine touch of uniqueness, the Sol reader offers a 25hrs reading time for a 2 hours charge. 

 

With the warmth and texture of printed pages, Sols’ reader leverages an E Ink screen and displays side-lit with warm white LEDs. For those who are not aware, E Ink screens are typically screen designs intended to mimic the looks and feels of inks on paper. So this is applied for the purpose of comfort for the eyes given the close contact it will have with the screen. 

 

Sol readers are also designed with a nose bridge, made of supple moldable silicone for the perfect fit on each unique face. 

 

Light sensors are also in the wrap of things, automatically adjusting the screen to the ambient light of wherever one is, the perfect tech to avoid the discomfort of screens due to the change in time of the day. 

 

To truly immerse, Sol readers come with advanced optics, a reportedly "state-of-the-art" optical system designed to accommodate one's natural eyesight with a streamlined profile, powerful magnification, and adjustable diopters. 

 

The VR Ebook Reader is controlled with a wireless remote to easily scroll through pages at your heart's content.

 

Connect seamlessly with your iOS and Android devices via Bluetooth and live each word on your pages at a price of $350, choose from 4 design types including black, silver, gold and dark blue and read on the go.
