 Immerse yourself
Vuzix iWear is a stunningly impressive range of face-furniture that allows you to watch whatever you like whenever you like, in the privacy of your own...erm, head. Simply slip on these lightweight cyber-shades and prepare to be totally blown away by a fully immersive audiovisual assault. That's right, we said audiovisual because these slimline shades even boast integrated (but removable) earphones.
Ingenious optical trickery allows all Vuzix iWear to replicate the effect of watching a big screen from a safe viewing distance. Don't ask us how- all we know is it's like having a high-quality home cinema grafted on your retinas. What's more these hi-tech specs are 3D enabled for automatic 2D/3D control. Unbelievable!

Apart from welding a giant plasma to the end of your hooter and chucking a black sheet over your head, we can think of no better way to completely immerse yourself in games and movies. Whether you're into iPod vids, DVDs or the latest multiplayer games, we've got a Vuzix viewer for you:
iWear AV230
Versatile viewer
Perfect for hooking up to portable DVD players, gaming systems and 5th generation iPods, AV230s contain a virtual display equivalent to a 44" screen viewed from 9ft. Seeing is disbelieving! And don't worry if you're a Peter Jackson fan because a rechargeable battery built into the cable provides up to 5 hours of viewing juice.

Is it possible to use one of these if you're bespectacled?
Firebox says: The tech support guys say that you can use these with glasses but you wont be able to use the eye shield with the unit. To make it a better fit you can actually take the nose piece out and turn it 180 degrees, making the iWear sit higher on the nose. This does work in regards to them fitting on the face but without the eye guard you can see over the top and out the sides more...

That looks pretty damn good. Sweet.

I love my vr920 66" screen from 9ft away (or 19" screen from 1ft away). The thing dose get a bit warm I've noticed.

He's only 6.5" tall but this state-of-the-art robot can sure teach the big boys a thing or two. The world's smallest humanoid robot, i-Sobot's movements are phenomenally fluid and lifelike, and he can talk, respond to your voice and even do kung fu. Your new best friend? Absolutely!
