Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Reading Headset Provides Immersive Book Experience Akin To 'Noise-Cancelling For Your Eyes'

Caption: Have you ever found yourself getting distracted by the outside world when trying to read a book? Designers have created a new gadget that promises to eliminate all distractions during reading time. The Sol Reader device resembles a virtual-reality headset. When worn, e-books are streamed directly from one's phone to their eyes, which the product's site aptly describes as "noise-cancelling for your eyes”. The text is displayed on dual-sided e-ink screens - one for each eye, allowing users to immerse themselves in the book while maintaining sight of their surroundings through peripheral vision. To avoid causing strain to the eyes, the creators have designed the warm-white LED lights to be adjustable with the option of using an external light sensor to automatically adjust the brightness of the device based on surrounding ambient lighting. Remarkably, those with short-sightedness may not even require glasses when using the Sol Reader as the diopter range for each eyepiece can be individually adjusted. The gadget also comes with an adjustable nosepiece and a wireless handheld remote to scroll and flip pages.
