    Am I the only one here who is reminded of Snow Crash?

    Also, I want them, now.

    @Ender305: Yup, I thought that too, and also the Virtual Light glasses from Gibson's novel of the same name.

    These reminded me of the "X-Ray" sunglasses that used to be advertised in the back of comic books. They claimed you could see through clothes with them, and every boy in 4th grade was saving his pennies for them.

    @Curves: I was in sixth grade and my brother and I bought them.


    From that puchase on, we both learned to never order anything from the back of a comic book.

    @Curves: That was my best friend's purchase. I think the Monkeys were actually brine shrimp. And they did NOT wear little golden crowns like the picture in the comic book.


    The other ad I remember was the cartoon of the skinny guy getting sand kicked in his face by a muscular dude, right in front of a pretty girl, and in the next frame the skinny dude is now built like Hulk Hogan and walking away with the pretty girl. I think it was a Jack Lalane ad. And no, the X-ray glasses did not work on the pretty girl cartoon, either. They did give me a headache, though.

    @Sora57: No Sea Monkee crowns? I guess the Dad didnt actually have Poseidons trident either? (Youre ruining the innocence and wonder of chldhood for me.)


    I remember Jack LaLane; my mom used to do jumping jacks with him. What was that one piece "bodysuit" thing he used to wear? That was scary in an epically polyester sort of way.

    This will be a hit among those TV-addicted British 2-year-olds who can't recite nursery rhymes or remember their own names.

    They should come with an application that overlays object identification onto your field of view, so you can pretend that you are a terminator.

    sigh. anyone remember eShades from 2001? they won the CES Innovations award in 2001. they had a resolution of 800 x 600, were comfortable to wear, and had more advanced dithering than anything else, and were going to sell, eventually, for $200. in 2002. 6 years ago. and now all the glasses since haven't beat the specs of the eShades at anything near the projected price point.


    they were awesome to use with a small modification to Unreal that provided stereoscopic gameplay.


    just my 2 cents on how much it sucks which companies live and which ones die.

    the lack of any obvious battery worries me, and these are worthless if the resolution is under 1080p.
