If you’ve got a distinct lack of style, you might be interested in a post on the Macworld website this week, where they’ve revealed a pair of goggles that are being released by the company Vuzix. The googles are called ‘iWear AV310’ and for the discerning iPod fan who doesn’t care what he or she looks like in public. The goggles contain a widescreen video screen (in 16:9 ratio) allowing the wearing to watch movies from their iPod, directly in front of them no matter what direction they face.

Of course this does mean you can’t see anything else, so you can’t really use them when riding your bike or down the gym. Plus if you were to wear them on the train you may find you’ll miss your stop, or have your bag stolen altogether when you take them off.

The goggles also work with other portable digital audio players, MP3 players and video cameras. Anything that emits a Pal or NTSC signal can be plugged into the goggles. The video screen, while tiny, is the equivalent of a 52 inch TV screen because of the closeness to your eyes (though of course you don’t need the same space).

They only run for 5 hours though, so you won’t be able to get through the Lord of Rings Trilogy.
