Video glasses are one of the things I just never saw a use for. Not only do you look like a goon when you wear them, but you can’t see what it going on around you either. That is not such a good thing if you need to be able to see what is going on around you at work or in other situations.

Brother has unveiled a new set of video glasses using tech from its printers that beams images directly on the retina of your eye. The small projector is attached to the side of the clear glasses and you can see what is going on around you with both eyes.

YelloMosquito introduced its Qingbar GP300 wireless video glasses with built-in media player and Divx support late in 2007. At the time the glasses were billed as the world’s first wireless video glasses with Divx and a built-in media player.

What makes the GP300 wireless is the inclusion of an internal rechargeable battery that allows everything to be self-contained. An internal miniSD card slot allows content to be loaded into the glasses easily and an EQ mode is built-in.
