Well guess what I just confirmed and when I hold out my thumb it appears as larger as a redwood tree at 100 ft.

I think it is time for the gadget bloggers of the world to focus less on Levar Burton jokes and put an end to that bogus kind of claim, and instead mock these for the pathetic resolution these all offer.

You know, my (fill in the blank) appears to be 55" at 10 feet.]]>Oct 25th 2009 6:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/25/vuzix-wrap-310-video-eyewear-ships-out-to-virtual-big-screen-lov/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/25/vuzix-wrap-310-video-eyewear-ships-out-to-virtual-big-screen-lov/http://www.vuzix.com/iwear/products_wrap920.html]]>Oct 25th 2009 7:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/25/vuzix-wrap-310-video-eyewear-ships-out-to-virtual-big-screen-lov/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/25/vuzix-wrap-310-video-eyewear-ships-out-to-virtual-big-screen-lov/Oct 26th 2009 9:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/25/vuzix-wrap-310-video-eyewear-ships-out-to-virtual-big-screen-lov/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/25/vuzix-wrap-310-video-eyewear-ships-out-to-virtual-big-screen-lov/Oct 25th 2009 10:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/25/vuzix-wrap-310-video-eyewear-ships-out-to-virtual-big-screen-lov/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/25/vuzix-wrap-310-video-eyewear-ships-out-to-virtual-big-screen-lov/

Further more we'll be able to play war games on our neighborhood streets with toy guns that actually shoot. Like playing a game of laser tag where you can actually see the laser exit the gun. The graphics processor will be able to see the real world objects we're shooting at (like a tree or a person) and graphically alter them to show damage in real time. This will totally redefine first person shooter games.

Eyewear like this will also help those who currently wear corrective lenses. No longer will bifocals or trifocals exist. This eyewear will replace them. When looking down at a menu or a book the system will intelligently be able to increase the size of the text making it easier to read.

The possibilities are endless. I could go on and on about ideas and uses for future augmented reality eyewear like this, but I think you guys get the point. ]]>Oct 25th 2009 10:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/25/vuzix-wrap-310-video-eyewear-ships-out-to-virtual-big-screen-lov/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/25/vuzix-wrap-310-video-eyewear-ships-out-to-virtual-big-screen-lov/Oct 25th 2009 10:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/25/vuzix-wrap-310-video-eyewear-ships-out-to-virtual-big-screen-lov/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/25/vuzix-wrap-310-video-eyewear-ships-out-to-virtual-big-screen-lov/I would assume he would be able to see the bus at all times, if the display goes black however, then he would naturally just take the glasses off. ]]>Oct 25th 2009 10:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/25/vuzix-wrap-310-video-eyewear-ships-out-to-virtual-big-screen-lov/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/25/vuzix-wrap-310-video-eyewear-ships-out-to-virtual-big-screen-lov/Oct 25th 2009 12:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/25/vuzix-wrap-310-video-eyewear-ships-out-to-virtual-big-screen-lov/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/25/vuzix-wrap-310-video-eyewear-ships-out-to-virtual-big-screen-lov/Oct 25th 2009 12:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/25/vuzix-wrap-310-video-eyewear-ships-out-to-virtual-big-screen-lov/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/25/vuzix-wrap-310-video-eyewear-ships-out-to-virtual-big-screen-lov/

I completely agree with Michael. I too think this is the future (at least for next 10yrs or so)...
the possibilities are endless!

I would love the zoom-in feature, the night vision feature, the object recognition and maybe the recording feature, so you cold simply record your holidays with no hassle and hand free!
Or maybe first person sport streaming... imagine a football or soccer game where players wear this glasses and you at home could select your perspective of watching the game..

etc... this will be huge and the possibilities are really endless...
