Popticals: Folding Shades Of Grey That Slip Into Your Pocket
Wraparound sunglasses provide as much protection from glare as you can get without having to resort to a full-on helmet and visor.

Are You So Paranoid About Privacy That You Would Wear These Goofy Glasses?

The M100 smart glasses run Android Ice Cream Sandwich and has a 720p camera along with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and head-tracking sensors. Which means, it’s kinda like Google Glasses except that every time anyone asks you if you’re wearing Google Glasses you’ll have to tell them no and they’ll think you’re an idiot for wearing knockoff Google Glasses.
