Vuzix Video Eyewear 230XL

It's 2008 but we have a glimpse of the future, with the arrival on Earth of Vuzix Video Eyewear. It's a cross between a pair of ultra-cool designer shades and a set of retro-cool walkman headphones. But the real cleverness is going on inside. The eyewear enables you to watch the output of your portable video player - MP4, DVD, Video iPod and the like - on a virtual display equivalent to a 44-inch screen viewed from 9 feet... and take it with you wherever you go. Seeing, in this case at least, is most definitely believing.

Near-eye display technology is the essence of cool - deserving a starring role on Tomorrow's World (God rest it) and myriad sci-fi movies. An in-line rechargeable battery is built into the single cable for 4-5 hours of enjoyment. It's so clever, it's almost as if it's been reverse engineered from a crashed alien spacecraft. And it promises a fabulous new world of personal entertainment. Enjoy movies in 2D or 3D and take your viewing experience to the next level.

We have seen the future and it is video eyewear. Now see it for yourself.
