Immerse yourself
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!
NEW: Vuzix Wrap, it's the future!
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:
Vuzix Wrap 230
Versatile viewer
Perfect for hooking up to portable DVD players, gaming systems, iPods and iPhones, Wrap 230 contain a virtual (60Hz picture) display equivalent to a 46" screen viewed from 10ft. Seeing is disbelieving. There's also built-in focus for each eye; perfect for those of you that wear glasses. What's more, these sleek babies feature on-screen video and audio controls. And don't worry if you're a Peter Jackson fan because a two AA batteries provides up to 6 hours of viewing juice, and two lithium batteries gives up to 16 hours. Epic!
Vuzix Wrap 280
Widescreen wonders, regular shades!
Despite looking like cool sports shades, Wrap 280s pack a serious technological punch. These discreet bad boys display both 2D and 3D video in 4:3 and 16:9 ratios via twin high-resolution 384 x 240 LCD widescreen displays. Slip them on and prepare to be gobsmacked as you gawp at a virtual display equivalent to a 51” screen viewed from 9ft. Compatible with almost any video-spewing device, including the iPhone, Wrap 280s will crank out up to 6 hours of video from a pair of AA alkaline batteries. What’s more, these smart cyber-shades feature on-screen video and audio controls. Wow!
Vuzix Wrap 920
The big picture - without the big shades!
If you're looking for the ultimate big screen experience without looking like Geordi off Star Trek's biggest fan, look no further than Wrap 920s. Fashioned to resemble regular sunglasses, these sleek shades are capable of replicating the effect of a huge 67" screen viewed from approximately 9ft. Wow! Despite their lack of heft, these versatile specs are compatible with almost any video device, from iPods, iPhones and portable DVD players to camcorders and gaming systems. Believe us, once you've watched a movie in crystal clear high resolution 2D and 3D via twin widescreen displays, you'll never want to take your 920s off - except perhaps to rub your eyes in total amazement.

The VR920 headset
Virtual reality becomes, er, a reality
Online gamers will love the VR920s as they have been designed to bring pixellated worlds to life like never before. As well as containing a virtual 62" screen, these incredible plug and play specs allow you to enter virtual worlds and communicate with others as if you're in the thick of the action. An integrated 3 Degree of Freedom (DOF) head-movement tracker and built-in microphone deliver the ultimate interactive online experience. Geeky, maybe; a giant leap for gaming, most definitely!
Who needs a joystick when you have the head-movement tracker!
The future's so bright you've just gotta wear iWear.

Imagine having a 52in TV shoved up against your face...
Vuzix's iWear glasses let you watch TV or play games on two tiny ultra-sharp OLED Screens that produce an image equivalent to a vast flatscreen a few feet away.Live (Mail On Sunday) - Apr '09
Visitor Reviews...
Do they work with the wii? I'm guessing not but asking just in case., - 23rd April 2012
Firebox says: Sadly, no it doesn't, however we'd imagine it would be pretty dangerous playing a Wii while effectively being blindfolded!
Thinking about buying the 280's, the only hesitation I have is the picture quality, the main reason I would want these would be to play games through my xbox, would the quality be good enough to say, read text on Skyrim for example.Charlie, Newcastle - 18th April 2012
Firebox says: It should be fine, give them a go! We have a very generous returns policy!
Got the 280. Great product, easy to set up.
Wouldn't call it exactly immersive or great definition, but great for watching TV on your back in bed, in the bath, on the beach, etc. On Iphone works ONLY with YouTube and Video App. Sadly not iPlayer :(
Unsure what it does from a Macbook. No plug supplied.Cor, Dorset - 27th March 2012
Amazing product!
Great picture and world perfectly with iPhone and iPad. Battery life is brilliant as well.
I have used them during travel, on holiday by the pool, in the garden, etc. Light shield is required when it's very sunny.
Would recommend them highly! I bought another pair for the missus.Sander, London - 27th January 2012
Firebox says: Great review Sander! we are glad you like them!
I have a few questions...
1. Does the 3D work with a nvidia graphics card?
2. Will I need to buy the nvidia play software to get the 3D working?
3. Do these have HDMI 1. 4 and do I need to buy a 1. 4 cable to get the 3d working?
4. Can I only get the 3d working on HDMI or will it work through VGA/composite
Note: I intend to play games using the nvidia stereoscopic and nvidia play drivers (i do not want the 3d feature for videos).MrMoo, Birmingham UK - 25th January 2012
Firebox says: That's a bit too technical for us I'm afraid MrMoo, best give the manufacturers tech support a call for more info: 0844 477 2977
Once I got my glasses into focus and set up they were great, playing xbox is also pretty good and made even better with 3d support. A problem with 3d and xbox is that some games only let you view 3d when using a hdmi cable. Also my glasses came with a scratch on the right tv lens which is pretty annoying but cant be seen when wearing them.Liam, Harrogate - 13th January 2012
Firebox says: Hey Liam, sorry to hear one of the lenses is scratched. If you would like to return them for a free replacement then please drop us an email to: info@firebox.com, quoting your order details.
Does it come with the correct cables to connect to the Xbox 360?Liam Scott, Harrogate - 2nd January 2012
Firebox says: Hey Liam, all wrap products come a standard with RCA (red/white/yellow) connectors. These can be connected directly to most devices with a video output i.e DVD players etc, however for an xbox 360 you will need to buy a interface cable. This will need to be connected to the xbox and the red white and yellow connectors on the eyewear.
How does the 3d work? Can I play batman in 3d on my ps3 and watch my TT 3d bluray ?Glenn, Birmingham - 26th December 2011
Firebox says: Hi Glenn, as long as watch your watching was made for 3D, you'll be good to go!
Does anyone know where it is possible to get the Eyeshield from in the UK? The full product name I think is: "Vuzix iWear Immersive Eyeshield".
It does not seem to be on Firebox or another well-known gadgety site (4 letters, beginning with "P" and being a ". Com").
If anyone can help me source it that would be greatly appreciated. I need it for a 230.
Thanks.Ronnie,, Hemel Hempstead - 18th December 2011
Firebox says: Hi Ronnie, they are available from Vuzix themselves: http://store.vuzix.co.uk/acatalog/iWear_Accessories.html
Hi, does the 280 work with other smart phones like the htc in perticular and also are they coming with the hdmi adaptor in 2012?Stephen, Reading - 15th December 2011
Firebox says: Hey Stephen, the wrap 280’s will work with any mobile device that has the facility to output video content from the 3.5mm headphone jack. We don't think that the HTC handset has the capacity to do this though. Also the HDMI interface box will only be sold as an accessory once released in spring of this year.
