Sunglass monitors slap a 45-inch TV on your face
These "stylish" sunglasses have a secret: they're actually a "wearable monitor," able to be hooked up to your iPod or laptop to simulate a 45-inch screen right on your face. You can wear them as normal sunglasses, sure, but that seems like it'd be a bit of a waste.
The real fun starts when you plug them into a video source. Packed with earbuds and a couple of screens, they still manage to stay light enough to be comfortable. And unlike other wearable monitors, they don't completely obstruct your view, so you could use them on the subway without worrying about someone sneaking up on you and snatching your purse or something. Still, not quite cool enough for me to wear in public, but your mileage may vary.

I recall playing this 3D videogame system from Nintendo, which was all in red, and required you to look into a viewer. Obviously, I don't recall the name.
Anyway, a problem with the device was that the screen was very close to the eye, but the 3D effect fooled it into thinking differently. This made for extremely tired and confused eyes. I tried a friend's and felt as if I were going blind. I used it twice and that was enough.
So, has anyone ever tried one of these glasses, even other brands, and do they cause eye tiredness. I would imagine that thinking you're seeing a 42 foot, or inch, screen that and inch from your face would cause the problem which I mentioned.
Any thoughts?

I tired a similar device not long ago by Sony and can't say that the product causes any eye damage. The resolution is so fine, that your eyes instinctively adjust. I would question the interface with the iPod since they've put restrictions on the new "Classic" devices to only function with Apple products.
Ah, well, I'd still be able to watch flicks or play games with these chick magnets propped on my schnoz.
