The geek life is an ironic state of affairs. Most of us, and I’m speaking from at least seconds of research, have some sort of vision problem. Studies show that hours of staring at the computer screen can cause serious vision impairments, which hasn’t exactly worked out for us up until now. Bad vision meant an impaired 3D experience. Not anymore. Samsung has unveiled their newest brand of geekery, prescription 3D glasses. And the SSG-R2200′s aren’t a pair of those... Continue reading

The one thing that I’ve always loved about pixelated fashion is how it makes you look high-def in comparison. Wearing low-pixel items makes you stand out out in a crowd, even if said crowd isn’t stuffed pack with geeks. People react to pixels in a way that goes behind gaming. Pixels are an ultimate symbol of retro style. Samal Design’s Pixel Glasses are not merely a clever concept. You can actually buy these glasses, available in both 5 DPI and... Continue reading

While Botox is definitly effective for wrinkle-busting and age preservation, it’s also extremely proficient in the art of paralyzing your facial muscles, leaving you largely unable to communicate your emotions. The Mejikara Anti-Wrinkle Glasses probably aren’t anywhere near as effective as Botox (if at all), but they’re painless, noninvasive and of course, Japanese. Wearing the Mejikara glasses for a mere five minutes a day will allegedly work wonders for your wrinkles and anti-aging efforts. According to Japan Trend Shop, the... Continue reading

I’m a fan of aviator sunglasses. And it’s not because I’m trying to fit in with a particular douche bag clique. I’m beyond that. I just like the way they fit my face. I admire their style. The Celebrity Lamp by Deeply Madly Living is a light source with a twist. The lamp shade is made out of 40 pairs of mirrored aviator sunglasses. Inspired by the stars who almost never remove their shades in public, the Celebrity Lamp originally... Continue reading

Taking inspiration from our favorite little flying rodent friend, the bat, the WuFu Glasses provides visual aid to the blind by carrying ultrasonic waves to sensors on the glasses, translating those waves into vibrations. The wrist straps on each arm vibrate to provide the blind user a general idea of their whereabouts, without the need of a guide. A compass sensor keeps the user on the right path and helps avoid obstacles. Not to mention the glasses look pretty neat... Continue reading

Life streamers will be happy to hear that a new brand of transmitting your every movement might be on the horizon. The EyeSeeCam tracks your eye movements using an array of cleverly placed speedy cameras. Two cameras measure your eye positions in 3D at super-fast speeds, up to 600 Hz, watching your eyes via an acrylic reflector. Another camera offers a zoomable view of what you’re seeing. The fourth is steered by servo motors to match whichever way your eyes... Continue reading

I’ve been getting back into SNES recently. It had been at least ten years since I even looked at the system, but then I received a copy of Super Mario World for Christmas. Forget about it. Now I can’t leave my house without some sort of SNES accessory. I just can’t bare to leave my poor console behind. I don’t even wear glasses, but this SNES Controller Glasses Case is a awesome way to store your glasses without losing geek... Continue reading

Good news for people who look like shit in sunglasses, but awful news for those who love their light eye color. These transition contact lenses are the first of their kind. They might someday eliminate the need for people with contacts to ever worry about toting their glasses around at all. There are surely some of you who have held out on contacts simply because you enjoy having your transitive lens frames. Luckily, the Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (IBN)...

Trust me, I know how important it is to see all of your surroundings when you’re biking. When I was 12 I was hit by a drunk driver. I can only think of what might have happened if I had been able to see what was going on around me. Would I have been able to avoid the hit? The Nike Hindsight concept glasses give bikers an extra 25% visual range on each side of their peripheral vision. That’s a... Continue reading

What happens when you give a couple of nerds some copper, a CNC plasma torch and a lot of time? Simple. You wind up with a set of copper masks that look like they’re right out of Star Trek. The shades are actually based on a 2000-year-old design by the Inuit, an artic tribe from back in the day. I’d love a pair of these, but wouldn’t they heat up and get really hot come late July/early August? Just sayin’.... Continue reading
