Video glasses have long been a coveted accessory for many gadget nerds to add to their arsenal. The idea of being able to have big screens right in front of your eyes is a compelling reason for many to go into debt and melt a credit in the process. However, up until this point, video glasses have been pretty expensive putting them out of reach for most. Though it appears that a day of reckoning is finally approaching. A company called Optinvent in conjunction with a Japanese manufacturer are teaming up as to release a more affordable mobile video glasses solution sometime in the 2nd half of 2010. This more affordable venture has been given the name “Clear Vu”.
The reason the price is sinking lower is due to newer, less expensive lenses that should still deliver optimal quality for many more consumers. Of course, with mobile video glasses, the possibilities are endless. Everything from private movie watching, to gaming, to augmented reality applications leave my mind spinning — particularly the AR scenario. How cool would it be to walk around a big city with an AR app fired up merely looking around getting bombarded with all sorts of information and specs. I welcome you dear future with open arms…
