Vuzix AV310: The First Ever Widescreen Video Goggles

5:20AM Sean Fallon | Back in June, our own Brian Lam did a Battlemodo between two high-res video goggles. During that review he noted “I do wish they came in 16:9 versions, but the 4:3 ratio is probably more practical.” Well, Vuzix is going to put that to the test with their new AV310 goggles. They claim that it is the first video eyewear to offer a true widescreen experience—the equivalent of a 52-inch screen viewed from a distance of 2.7 metres. It also features 5 hours of battery life on a single AA as well as a typical “3D” setting. Expect the AV310 to retail for $US250. More »

2:00PM Sean Fallon | At this year’s Game Developer’s conference, Vuzix has unveiled a headset with a new feature that should be very interesting for gamers—especially fans of co-op FPS titles. The iWear AV920-C is capable of accepting video from anything with a composite video out and displaying it on the internal 640×480 LCDs. That’s equivalent to viewing a 62-inch display viewed from 9-feet away—but that is not even the most interesting part. The folks at Vuzix had FPS fans in mind when they included technology in the AV920-C that allows gamers to connect up to 4 headsets in a daisy chain to a single console. More »
