The device comes with several pairs of 3D glasses. You can post 3D videos to YouTube and other sites as well.
Vuzix has been a leader in video eyewear. Many of the headsets that Vuxix has been most known for look like typical virtual screen headsets.
At CES 2009 they introduced the Wrap 920AV which is eyewear that looks like standard sunglasses they are see through but can double as video eyewear. The Wrap 920AV allows you to play videos and at the same time allow you to see the world around you. The glasses kind of remind of heads up displays with significant more resolution.
The Wrap 920AV provides a 60-inch monitor as seen from 9 feet and has available expansion options all in a lightweight package that is less than 3 ounces.

While we were exploring the floor at CES we came across a company called BigC, and what first appeared as a novelty item we quickly realized that BigC had a USB powered Microscope that was capable of 10x-200x while this does not seem like a lot that is plenty of amplification for electronic circuit examination.
The folks at BigC also say that doctors are using these devices our MD Cameraman Andy was examining his eyeball with it and thought it would work pretty well.
Check out this interview with a pretty good demonstration of their technology. Wish I had Andy’s eyeball footage that would have been a YouTube Moment.
Meade Telescopes are well known in the Astronomy community and much of the challenge for amateur astronomers is getting a telescope aligned. The folks at Meade have developed a telescope that aligns itself.
This is accomplished through the utilization of CCD imager that has been added to the telescope which is able to find two new stars. Once aligned the telescope can align to over 100,000 stars that it has in it’s internal database. It also has audio content that will act as a astronomer on board to help you understand what your looking at.
The unit cost around $1299.00 which is a great price considering what is included. Astronomy used to cost a lot more.
