Vuzix Ships Widescreen iWear AV310

Vuzix has today announced an immediate shipping of its Vuzix iWear, AV310, a personal video eyewear that's virtually wielding a giant 52-inch large screen display over your head, from any video sources on-the-go. The new AV310 claims World's first virtual reality eyewear with widescreen aspect ratio, and is a better-equipped unit compares to the AC230 XL we reviewed last month.

According to Vuzix, the company has recently increased the Av310 production due to unexpected higher market demands, and the AV310 is the not only the first-ever widescreen personal eyewear, but also loaded with "state-of-the-art technology at a price point far below anything our competition has to offer".

But does this thing really work? Skeptical, it is? Make you wonder how a dual 428 x 240 LCDs could project up to a 52-inch as good as a real TV. We did like it better than restrained entertainment on a PMP or cellphone display. When you get yours, let us know what's you thought? It's shipping now at $250, and should be available from Brookstone, SkyMall, MicroCenter, Hammacher Schlemmer and Vuzix.com.
