Video-glasses are suddenly all the rage

The Queen (aka. Helen Mirren), the monarch of this fair land of the United Kingdom and it’s Commonwealth, has endorsed ezGear’s new ezVision glasses. “Endorsed” in this case seems to mean “has had the this product thrust into her hands and a picture has been taken”. The glasses come in two flavours: the G1 and the X4. Connect them to a DVD player, put them on, relax, and a 50 or 64 inch screen is simulated right in front of your eyes. The G1 has a battery that lasts for 8 hours while the X4 will give you 5 hours.

It seems that everyone wants to get in on the “wear your TV on your face” act. myvu are a company who have created a pair of glasses that can connect to a video-enabled iPod and display video from it while you’re on the move. Judging by the pictures on their web site, while you’re wearing it you look like Jordi from Star Trek: The Next Generation, which can only be a plus-point in my view. The slimness of the glasses allows you to look over the top of them so that you can still see where you are going but I don’t see how watching TV while going about your daily business can be safe.

Hit the jump for more pictures of the products.
