Vuzix announced that their Wrap video eyewears can look even cooler with interchangeable fashion shades. Available in four different colors (red, blue, amber and mirror), these shades give Wrap users an option to personalize their eyewear.
The Wrap Fashion Shades are made of durable plastic, featuring a smooth, glossy finish for a “dazzling appearance.” They simply snap-on to all current Wrap models to make you look like a normal person (as opposed to super geek) while you’re actually watching a video (or whatever) somewhere in a park.
As for the pricing, each Shade can be purchased separately ($19.99 MSRP per pair) or at $49.95 MSRP for the 4-color combo “Fashion Pack”…
My experience with the Vuzix products is very brief. I had a chance to try out their products during the 2009 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona and was very impressed with the 3D video quality. However, I’m still wondering how does it feel to use a video eyewear for other tasks like browsing the web. If anyone of you had a more in-depth experience with Vuzix glasses, please don’t hesitate to drop a comment below. I’m thinking of grabbing a pair for myself, though I’m not 100% sure I really need it.
