I’ve always been a fan of video eyewear devices but let’s face it – no one will ever consider them sexy or sleek by any means. Well it looks like the folks at Vuzix Corporation are about to change all of that with the introduction of the new Wrap 310 widescreen video eyewear.  According to Vuzix, the Wrap 310 has the look and feel of normal sunglasses yet feature high resolution video displays which when worn provide the equivalency of a 56 inch display.

Other features and specs to the Wrap 310 include the following:

• Removable noise isolating earphones
• 2 AA batteries provide up to 6 hours of power
• Composite video input
• Optional VGA and component compatibility adapters (coming soon)
• Improved on-screen user interface
• Independent focus adjustments for users with corrective lenses
• Supports all iPod/iPhone models, portable DVD players, mobile phones with video output, PCs, laptops, TVs, DVD/Blu-ray players, and portable media players

You’ll be able to check out the new Wrap 310 at the 2009 ShowStoppers for the Digital Holidays in New York (Sept. 16th) as well as the 2009 Tokyo Games Show (Sept. 24th – 27th)

No word on pricing as of yet.

Now here’s a pair of sunglasses that I can totally imagine wearing – especially while I’m jogging. It’s the ETS Motorola S71 Sunglasses with integrated headphones. The S71 sunglasses feature integrated Bluetooth wireless technology which means it’s capable of pairing to Bluetooth enabled mobile phones and music/media players. Once connected, you’ll enjoy hands-free music which is great for me – especially when I’m running around the block. I’m honestly sick of wires! (I just wish the iPhone had Bluetooth stereo support). You can control your media playback thanks to buttons located on the frame of the S71. The ETS Motorola S71 is also known as the O ROKR Pro and can be charged either via an AC adapter or via the USB port. The FCC recently approved the S71 so you can expect to see the product fairly soon on the market.
