Vuzix is planning a second generation of its head-mounted displays that look like “something people would actually want to wear,” according to a representative of the company. Stylin’ or not, the Wrap 920AV improves upon the iWear VR920 by allowing you to see — you don’t feel like you’re watching a movie with a box on your head.
In our demo, the Wrap 920AV presented us with a crisp screen of a video played from an iPod front and center, while everything else was heavily tinted by the sunglasses. The overall effect actually feels a bit easier on the eyes and isn’t as distracting as you might think — we didn’t feel that movie theater eye strain as we took the shades off. Retractable headphones are hidden in arms of the shades and, like its predecessor, it can play from iPods and iPhones,

You might not like the way these Joe-cool glasses make you look, but you’ll like what you see when you put them on. These wireless (and they are wireless — those wires you see in the pics are for theft control) 3D glasses charge up in 2 hours for 40 hours of continuous viewing, and NVIDIA says they work with 350 PC games right out of the box. They work by rapidly alternating between your two eyes with slightly different camera angles, fooling your eyes and noggin into thinking you’re seeing in 3D.
It works. We donned these peepers for a stunning 3D demo of Guitar Hero, and also several 3D movie clips — and the 3D effect was remarkable. NVIDIA has big plans for these $199 GeForce 3D Vision glasses, coaxing movie studios into releasing their 3D content for 3D viewing using NVIDIA’s movie player and these kooky specs. There are good reasons why these glasses were voted one of the best products of CES by CNET. You think this idea’ll fly?

CES 2009 will feature thousands of new products, and among them will be this new pair of Vuzix glasses. Those who want a private video viewing experience on their iPod will have heard of Vuzx, and the new design is an improvement over its predecessors, keeping things fairly basic despite being cool enough that Bono-wannabes won’t mind forking out a few hundred dollars for it. Known as the Wrap 920AV, it will feature an improved variation of virtual reality combined with augmented reality that allows an object or video feed to appear in space. In essence, the Wrap 920AV is able to open up certain videos away from the block panel display to give it the illusion of interactivity. Vuzix claims the optics are also improved, making you feel as though you were watching a real display compared to its previous units that had the disadvantage of a narrow frame.
