How cool would it be if you could watch a movie or TV show on your iPhone’s 52-inch display? Darn tootin’ that’d be cool. Unfortunately, the iPhone’s 3.5-inch multi-touch display is nowhere near as big as the eyeball-busting plasma hanging on your living room wall.

But, that doesn’t mean you can’t get the 52-inch experience from your iPhone just the same. With Vuzix’s iWear AV310 video glasses, movie-loving iPhone users are immersed in a widescreen 16:9 virtual video environment that emulates the look of 52-inch screen as viewed from 9-feet away. Dual high-resolution LCD displays embedded within the iWear AV310′s frame feature individual diopter adjustments from -2 to +5 that ensures a perfectly focused image for each eye. The “AccuTilt” features allows for 15 degrees of tilt-adjustment, and an adjustable nose-piece makes the iWear AV310 comfortable to wear, while the on-screen settings make on-the-fly changes a breeze.

The Vuzix iWear AV310 works with any NTSC or PAL compatible video output, including the iPhone and iPhone 3G, and is good for 5 hours of operation on a single AA battery. Expect the iWear AV310 to command a $250 price-point sometime soon. Just how soon we can’t say.
