It seems that we never run out of accessories for our video ipods. First it was Ganzklar. Then  Chinese imitation goggles. Now Vuzix Corporation is hot on their heels with  a ground-breaking addition to the video eyewear market: the Wrap 920AV. As the demand for realtime access to digital entertainment and online data explodes, Vuzix has once again taken the lead. Here’s a lightweight “movie  screen” solution with Vuzix’ proprietary Quantum optics technology that affords  a “see-thru” viewing experience in the formfactor of a snazzy pair of sunglasses modifiable with many accessories.

The ubercool Wrap 920AV works with any media playing device using a video output and projects a virtual 60-inch screen, as viewed from 9-feet. It’s like being in theatre! The  lens technology empowers users to relish 3D video content while seeing and interacting with their surroundings. This amazing mix of reality and computer generated content will morph the world of portable video while opening up the consumer to  “location aware” applications. Think Minority Report, or something like that. Oh, and there’s an optional 6-Degree of Freedom tracking sensor and/or Stereo Camera Pair will enable users to upgrade their Wrap 920AV to experience virtual, enhanced and mixed reality scenarios.     

And of course there’s more as  Vuzix will be offering affordable  prescription lens inserts to provide the perfect solution for consumers wearing prescription specs. An electronic Inter-Pupillary Distance mechanism allows eye separation adjustment, enabling users an immersive viewing experience.  Amazingly, the entire system weighs less than 3 ounces.
