Sunglass monitors slap a 45-inch TV on your face
October 22nd, 2007 | by Gizmo |
These “stylish” sunglasses have a secret: they’re actually a “wearable monitor,” able to be hooked up to your iPod or laptop to simulate a 45-inch screen right on your face. You can wear them as normal sunglasses, sure, but that seems like it’d be a bit of a waste.
The real fun starts when you plug them into a video source. Packed with earbuds and a couple of screens, they still manage to stay light enough to be comfortable. And unlike other wearable monitors, they don’t completely obstruct your view, so you could use them on the subway without worrying about someone sneaking up on you and snatching your purse or something. Still, not quite cool enough for me to wear in public, but your mileage may vary.
