TUAW Review and Giveaway: Vuzix Wrap 310XL Video Eyewear
When you're on an airplane or sitting on a beach, watching a movie on an iPhone or iPod touch can be a bit of a hassle. Sure, you can prop up the case -- in fact, there are a number of iPhone cases that feature a built-in prop of some sort -- but you're still watching your movie or TV show on a pretty small screen. Wouldn't it be nice to watch it on a big, widescreen TV? That's the idea behind Vuzix Wrap 310XL video eyewear. These "TV glasses" are nothing new, but the quality of the displays has been getting better over the years. The glasses themselves look like a pair of fairly stylish sunglasses, and there are two tiny displays (428 x 240) that are placed in front of your eyes that are resolved into one widescreen image. The glasses produce a virtual screen that is the equivalent of watching a 55" display from a distance of about 10 feet. The display works for both standard 4:3 and widescreen 16:9 aspect ratios, and the Wrap 310XL is even 3D compatible with the proper media. The glasses are usable with any composite video output, and both RCA and Dock Connector composite adapter cables are included in the box. Read on for my review of the Vuzix Wrap 310XL Video Eyewear. %Gallery-100622%
