Video glasses. It was just a matter of time - I read some years ago that we would, in the future, be able to watch movies, or search the net by using a screen in our glasses. Ok. It's here. Video glasses - the gadget at the top of the list of baby boomer toys that no one in your circle has yet. By Myvu they are Solo Plus Edition ( MA-0495) selling at about $149.74 to $199.95 msrp.
