The Pitch: The problem with video eyewear is that it’s heavy and uncomfortable. Nose-denting, and never mind that you look like a cross between CIA and Borg drone. Vuzix Wrap 920 puts the fashion into video eyewear with its crafted cool-sunglasses look. Behind those cool shades, the glasses provide you with a video picture that recreates the experience of sitting in your living room and watching a 62-inch display from about 9 feet away. Now that’s home theater.
Because the glasses will work with the iPhone and other mobile devices ,you’ll be able to carry your own home theater right along with you, though no one will know what you’re watching behind those fashionable shades.
Pros: A big step forward in fashionable view-wear, the Vuzix Wrap 920 appears to have made strides with using super-lightweight material.
Cons: I wore the Oakley MP3 glasses for awhile which make a similar claim for matching digital music with fashionable sunglasses. I spent most of that time feeling around my head for the right on/off forward/back buttons. Hence I’m skeptical.
Recommendation: At the time of this review not all the product details were available but it’s doubtful you’ll be watching HD quality and the “see through optics” that let you respond to both the world beyond your glasses and inside your glasses can be disorienting. I’m not sure that the Vuzix should continue on in the LGS competition.
