The Vuzix Wrap 280 Widescreen iWear is equivalent to a 51″ screen viewed from ten feet.  It weighs less than three ounces and like all of the Vuzix iWear range, is the  ultimate in style and technology for video glasses.

The specs come with noise-isolating stereo earbuds and a chunky, wired pocket remote control. You can adjust the way they sit on your face (they’ll even fit over prescription glasses, although it’s a tight squeeze) and independently focus each lens. The many picture adjustments include brightness, contrast, colour and aspect ratio, and Vuzix says the automatic 3-D mode recognises a 3-D video source and displays it three-dimensionally.

So, is it time to flash your credit card for the geek in your life? Perhaps so. The Vuzix specs were fairly easy to set up: within minutes we were watching a clip from the recent Star Trek film, played on an iPhone. The VGA video resolution, split across the two 384 x 240-pixel LCDs, is modest yet perfectly watchable — certainly compared with the 3in screen of most smartphones — and an impressive six hours of play is promised from two AA batteries.
