When lcd video glasses first became available we were confined between choosing from something that looked like it belonged in an episode of Star Trek. Fortunately there are much better looking video glasses available on the market today.
If you are concerned with pure appearance my opinion is that Myvu is the clear leader. The myvu shades model and crystal models both provide a very sleek fashionable look.
The Sunglass apeal:
The myview shades model has a look that is comparable to a pair of large sunglasses. The only potential drawback is that in order to use the glasses you must look down, which can be annoying if you are not accustomed to doing this.
The futuristic look:
If you are looking for something really sleek you should consider the myvu crystal. It has a compact design that contours toward the nose that give it the appearance of a pair of futuristic glasses. The only drawback is that the battery life can be a bit limited at only 4 hours versus other video glasses that can offer in excess of 10 hours of viewing time.
Coming soon:
Probably the sleekest pair of video glasses that I have seen are the vuzix Wrap 920AV. These glasses look like a very nice pair of sun glasses and weigh only 3 ounces. If you are considering a pair of high end video glasses it may well be worth the until they are released in the Fall of 2009.
