Well, lets welcome in the new year with something incredibly expensive and yet so want inducing I’d be willing to save up until next Christmas for it: The Vuzix iWear 280XL Widescreen Multimedia Glasses. Improve long journeys (if you’re not driving anyway) by immersing yourself fully in these futuristic video playing glasses. Even in 3D! Just £200…
Just released in the UK, the iWear 280XL are a pair of lightweight glasses with built in stereo earphone. You simply plug them into anything with a video output – iPod Video, iPhone 4, laptop or PSP to name a few – and instead of having to watch your videos on a tiny screen, or open to the over shoulder abuse of fellow travellers, you can lay back, glaze over and enjoy what the makers call a ‘jaw dropping cinema experience’. They even fit over regular prescription glasses if you’re one of the great badly sighted.
Not just good for travel though – plug it into your XBox 360 to feel like you’re really in the Black Ops when playing COD; plug it into the DVD player so your other half doesn’t force you to watch ‘The Notebook’, or fob them off as incredibly unfashionable sunglasses when the Mother in Law pops round – who cares that it’s still freezing outside?!

One thought on “Vuzix iWear 280XL – watch films on your glasses!”
Equivalent to a 51-inch screen viewed from ten feet (approximately 3m)
Twin high-resolution 384 x 240. How on earth can they say 240 lines is high resolution!
So it’s like viewing a super low resolution massive TV from a long way away, what’s the point?
Standard definition TV is 480 lines. They had 240 line TVs 60 years ago.
Until these get higher resolution, they won’t take off.
