Gadget Show Live 2009: Vuzix!

I was really pleased when I found out my favourite Video eyewear company were going to be at Gadget Show Live 2009 – Vuzix have such a great set of products that I thought they would be busy – but nothing prepared me for this!
The stand was absolutely beseiged – and I mean rammed – with people clambering over each other to get a look at, and buy, the tech!
I got some time with David Lock, Director of European Operations – and he took me through a couple of things that proved to be of great interest:
- 3D – it’s where everything is going – TV, Cinema, Gaming – you name it, it’s now all about the depth perception! I checked out the VR920 glasses (which have accelerometers on-board!) that were running with a Laptop 3D demo – wowzer! – very, very impressive! I just can’t wait for this tech to come to Mobile, and trust me, it won’t be long!
- New tech – check out the pic below of the new Vuzix glasses coming soon – these are like the next-gen of video eyewear, and I genuinely wonder whether Vuzix are going to put all the competition out of business. Now these glasses are awesome, both design and performance-wise. Price and Timing are TBA for the moment…
Overall – a very impressive showing from Vuzix!
