Epson Moverio BT-100 Blue-Blocker

Sporting classic blue-blocker looks, these shades have dual transparent lenses with 960 × 540 qHD resolution bringing you video in three dee, while audio is doled out by built-in earbuds with Dolby Mobile technology. Content is accessed via a Froyo-powered control unit equipped with 802.11b/g/n WiFi and 1GB of internal memory, plus there's an SD card slot (4GB card included) for storing media. The new Moverio BT-100 video glasses have the same ugly style that most of this sort of gadget offers with some notable differences.

The BT-100 glasses are designed to fit over normal eyeglasses and the controller runs Android 2.2. The video glasses will hit Japan on November 25 at a price working out to about $643. Epson's Moverio BT-100 media viewer suffers from the same geriatric-sunglasses design as every other head-mounted display. The BT-100's screen resolution is just qHD (960 x 540 pixels) but it appears to the viewer as a giant 320-inch display positioned about 20 meters away. The mobile viewer is proportioned to fit over your everyday glasses and is accompanied by a small control unit that runs Android 2.2 and features Wi-Fi connectivity, six-hours of battery life, detachable headphones, and 1GB of internal storage augmented by a bundled 4GB SDHC card (with support for 32GB).
