Have you ever dreamt of a big screen experience without a giant TV? Have you ever imagined watching video in bed or on the move while still remaining aware of your surroundings? Or playing a 3D game in the real world? Or watching a live video that is being shot in the open air out of the reach of a computer or a TV screen? Vuzix, audio-visual eye-wear producer for military and medical applications, provides a solution with its iWear AV920 Video Eyewear.
The AV920 is a stereoscopic headset that creates the effect of 62″ screen focusing an image on each eye. The image is created by two separate 640x480 resolution LCD screens, one for each eye. Besides, sending different images to each eye enables 3D video watching.
Providing advanced optics such as 32-degree field of view and 2.5″ interocular distance, iWear AV920 displays millions of colors and weighs only 2.9 ounces.
The AV920 Video Eyeware features :
- a virtual display equivalent to a 62-inch screen viewed from 9 feet thanks to built-in twin high-resolution 640x480 (920,000 pixels) LCD displays;
- automatic 2D/3D control;
- multiple 3D video formats:
- Side by Side
- Field Sequential
- 3 formats of Anaglyph: Amber/Blue, Red/Cyan, Red/Green - removable, integrated speakers;
- 6 hours of continuous operation (an internal rechargeable lithium ion battery);
- AccuTilt™ viewer pivoting up to 15° for comfortable viewing angle;
- soft and comfortable, hypo-allergenic nose piece, which extends up to 3/8″;
- custom fit head strap;
- light shield.
The iWear AV920 video glasses are compatible with any video device with a standard analog video output, NTSC or PAL. Keep in mind that the iWear AV920 are not compatible with pre-1998 gaming consoles! The glasses come in pack with a set of cables to allow connection to various video devices. This includes cables for composite video, DVD player, iPod, Nokia N95, Creative Zen and Archos players.
iWear AV920 Supported Devices include:

- iPod 5th generation devices.
The shiny black plastic glasses have a 53 inch cable with a small module to plug in the included mini USB cable for charging, or one of the included video cables to connect to a video devise.
The AV920’s resemble normal glasses in the way that they have folding temples and a removable adjustable nose bridge with nose pads on bending wires. The ear buds attached to flexible stems are built into the frame of the glasses.
A single control underneath the right-hand eye piece provides access to a comprehensive on-screen menu for you to adjust brightness, contrast and volume and to select an appropriate 3D mode if necessary.
The video glasses not only show impressive videos and 3D content, which is definitely fun, they are by all means useful in the way that you can take any comfortable position without having to look down or hold the screen of your iPod up to watch (if lying down). You can walk and even keep notice of the life going on around you by looking above or below the display screens!
So, turn on your imagination and get the best from your video device with the absorbing sensations of the AV920 Video Eyeware for $301 on Amazon! eBay sells it from $290 to $308. The rest of the world will start just fading out…
