Despite their obvious attractions, until recently video glasses were not of sufficient quality to break into the consumer market.  This has changed dramatically with the introduction of the Vuzix iWear Wrap range.  So how do these video glasses work?

How Stuff Works has a handy guide to understanding the technology behind video glasses.
