Japanese company Arisawa Manufacturing has a video headset solution that is expected to be available in Japan yet this year to allow the user to watch video in a tiny screen attached to there eye glasses.

The Teleglass has a mount that will attach to virtual any pair of glasses and allows the video screen to attach to it. The video screen is a .24 inch LCD panel that when viewed up close is equivalent to a 21″ television screen at about 3 feet away. A wire connected to the 8 gram mounted LCD screen connects to a player that stores the video that users could wear in their pocket.

The beauty of this design is not only that it can be attached to any existing glasses, but also that it allows the user to maintain their regular vision while using them since both eyes are not completely covered as with many previous similar solutions. Trying to watch a movie while doing other things that require your attention may lead to trouble, but there is certainly a lot of potential.

Arisawa also plans to have a Teleglass version with a TV tuner built in sometime next year, and will be offering this version in Japan for about $430 USD.
