Some may argue that nothing compares to sitting in a movie theater and watching the latest Hollywood action film on the big screen. For those of you who prefer, however, not to be in the presence of loud-mouthed hooligans blabbing on cell phones, sticky floors, and high snack prices, nothing compares to watching a film in the comfort of your own home. To add a little spice to your theater, check out the MPGlass 230M. It's a pair of glasses that plugs into a DVD player, VCR, or game console and fools your eyes and brain into thinking that you're looking at a 30-inch screen from two meters (6.5 feet in real measurements) away. Stereo sound envelops your very being via the supplied headphones. It'll set you back about $523 (or £300 if you're in the UK, from where the glasses originate).
