The Best Way to Enjoy Video on the Go
Reviewed by Bram P
How much time did you spend traveling on your last business trip or vacation? If it’s a short flight that’s say 2 hours, it probably takes a total of 4 hours altogether. Those are an hour and a half at the airport checking in and waiting to take off, then the actual flight, and afterwards, another half hour waiting for your luggage to come around.
People that are used to traveling learn how to enjoy flying, including the time it takes and the delays it can involve when things don’t go so smoothly. I took a flight recently, and the guy sitting next to me was wearing space-age looking sunglasses the entire time. They were connected to his iPod, and he was completely tuned out to everything.
When he took them off when we were starting to descend, I couldn’t help asking what they were. He explained they were widescreen video glasses, and when hooked up to his iPod, they produced the same effect as watching a 52-inch television screen. He must have seen the look of disbelief on my face, because next thing I knew, he was adjusting them to fit my head.
The experience was absolutely incredible. I got a glimpse of the movie Planet Terror and the experience was like being shut inside my own personal movie theater. They were lightweight and comfortable to wear and plugging in the attached earphones cut out noise distractions. In an instant, I was experiencing big screen video right before my eyes.
I had a slew of questions after I took them off. Time was short, but I did gather these were Vuzix iWear AV310 Widescreen Video Glasses, they cost around $200, and they work with video game systems, laptops, DVDs and all sorts of other portable devices. Any time you want big screen video entertainment, you pull out your Hi Res Video Eyewear and you’re ready to go.
I had no idea virtual reality glasses existed, but it seems like an excellent way to take full advantage of your iPod and other A/V devices. Will I be ordering a set of these glasses? You bet, and I’m already looking at which movie download site to join so I can keep my iPod stocked with great videos.
