More Details On Vuzix 920AV

[CES 2009] We didn’t really have too much information on the Vuzix 920AV which we posted about last Friday, and here we are with more information concerning this supposedly revolutionary new pair of Vuzix. It seems that we can now choose to fit them with a “6-Degree of Freedom tracking sensor and/or Stereo Camera Pair”, allowing one to mix images in front of the wearer with virtual content. Can’t imagine how that would look like? Close your eyes for a moment and think about looking down a street, complete with little markers that give more detail on the building’s history. Now that’d be totally cool, but the wonder of it all might actually distract the pedestrian on the road which could lead to a nasty accident if one is not careful. Other specifications of the Vuzix 920AV include :-

• Virtual 60″ screen viewed from 9-feet
• 2D and 3D video formats
• Quantum Optics Technology
• Twin high-resolution AMLCD displays
• Ultra low power electronics
• High-quality noise-isolating and removable comfort fit earphones
• Up to 6 hours of battery life on two AA batteries
• On screen display settings control
• For use with or without eyeglasses
• Optional prescription lens inserts
• Optional Bluetooth 6-Degree of Freedom head tracking system
• Optional USB-powered Stereo Camera Pair

It works with all iPod/iPhone models with video output, compatible portable media players, digital and video cameras and even consoles and notebooks. No idea on how much this puppy will cost though.
