Particularly for items used in travel, you don't want some stupid proprietary battery. A lot of people won't buy a camera if it doesn't take AAs. You can get them anywhere, and you can get great rechargeables. They are much cheaper to replace because there's tons of competition.

The virtual 55 inch* Wrap 310 screen offers unmatched performance. It displays both standard 4:3 and 16:9 screen formats and plays 2D and 3D movies and videos. Its support for all common formats of 3D video offers maximum media compatibility. Its Vuzix Auto 3D enables automatic 3D configuration when supporting media is played.

*Equivalent screen size as seen from 10 feet (approximately 3m).

That's still not good enough for me! Why would you want to watch poor resolution 55" from 10 feet? That's no better than the previous designs except they look better. I absolutely love the idea of this, but if only the game/movie was properly in your face I won't be getting one. Saying that, there is no way to try one (that I can see...) without buying it, unless anyone knows where you can (in the UK).]]>Sep 16th 2009 11:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/vuzix-wrap-310-video-eyewear-actually-isnt-the-ugliest-thing-of/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/vuzix-wrap-310-video-eyewear-actually-isnt-the-ugliest-thing-of/

The Vuzix iWear AV920 has a resolution of 640x480, which is a large step in the right direction, however 800x600 has been available in very slightly larger packages since 2003. On another note, I applaud Vuzix for their development of augmented reality accessories for the Wraps! Let's just get 720p in those glasses and people will be lining up to hand $500 for watching video off their XBOX 360's, PS3's, ION powered laptops, Tegra powered cell phones, Zune HD's (docked?), and most effectively their 3D content on PS3s' and desktops.

3D 720p, Vuzix.
