Video glasses. They should have taken over by now.

Video glasses have had a hard time catching on, but maybe it’s because of all the wires involved. Then along comes the Qingbar GP300, billed as the world’s first wireless video glasses with a built-in media player.

If you don’t mind looking like a techno-wonk, the specs of these specs are not too bad at all. More »
