The Sol Reader is a device that looks like a virtual reality headset but actually immerses users into their e-books. Through this, users are able to stream the book in a visual way. The product's site describes the product as "noise-canceling for your eyes."
Similar to the way that e-books work, it is showcased in a dual-sided e-ink screen, which is one for each eye. This way, users are quite literally able to immerse themselves into their book while ensuring that they still have sight of what surrounds them. To make sure that it is not too harsh on the eyes, creators add an adjustable warm-white LED light with the option of using an external light sensor.
