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!

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
