The Gadget: EyeClops Night Vision Infrared Stealth Goggles, the cheapo-version of the spy favourite that’ll allow you to go exploring, play wargames, or stalk your ex-girlfriend in the dark. galleryPost("eyeclopsgoggles", 3, "");
The EyeClops Night Vision goggles let you see in total darkness using infrared lights, all while giving you that special Terminator look. Two attachments allow visibility 10 or 20 feet ahead—the 10-footers give off no light, the 20s show some small red dots. I tried them on in a pitch black room and saw every poster on the wall easily. They’re US$80, and they’ll be out sometime this fall. A giant game of Manhunt will follow shortly after. [EyeClops]
We just saw the EyeClops lineup for 2008, and it seems your days of magnifying everything in sight just got more fun (not to mention, much grosser). The next-gen EyeClops looks like last year’s model but comes with three different zoom lenses, so you can see what your zits look like in 100x, 200x, or 400x. Joining the new ‘Clops is a bug-sucking vacuum with a detachable top that can be mounted to any EyeClops (including the new BioniCam model) for hours of insect torture study. The EyeClops is still US$50, and the Bug Vac can be yours for US$15 when they arrive in spring. [EyeClops]

We wrote about the Eyeclops earlier this year, but here’s a hands-on of it, as well as a bunch of 20-buck themed game controllers (Millennium Falcon, Deal Or No Deal, Pirates Of The Caribbean and Pac Man.) Check out that 200x magnification on the PR lady’s skin. Creepy! Video: Nick McGlynn More »
