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!

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

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

Vuzix Wrap 280 Widescreen
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

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

iWear VR920
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.

I bought these ages ago and I forgot to leave a review. I have to say this is the worst product to ever exist. 800 characters is not enough to express just what a bad product this is. First of all - they didn't work. Hell yeah, quality make right there. I can't even explain what was wrong with them because there's no words in the English language to describe it. The product does not sit on a human being's face. You will always be able to see above and below you. The cable is 3cm long, so enjoy sitting awkwardly next to whatever you have it plugged in to. The WORST thing about them though is how some moron thought the arms should be rubber. This is fantastic and doesn't rip all of your hair out, just most of it. By far the worst thing I've ever bought, and I own an album by Sting.
Beeb, West Midlands - 1st August 2012

Firebox says: Bad news on the sting album. No seriously drop us a line on info@firebox.com with your order details and we will try and help you out on this one, we certainly dont expect our customers to keep a product that they are not happy with.

Does the VR920 work with Minecraft? It would be so cool to be in a world of blocks! Also, would be dangers to wear for long amount's of time, like 15 days? How often should take them off?
William Chance, Orlando Florida - 8th June 2012

Firebox says: Hey William, this will work with any on-line PC game. We wouldn't however recommend wearing these for 15 day straight, you may end up thinking you are permanently in the game!

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.
