ThinkGeek does it again! This time, the gadget outfitter is offering up a pair of night vision goggles for the low price of $90. That’s right. For under $100, you can get a pair of goggles that will truly unleash your inner peeping tom. ThinkGeek is sold out right now but it’s taking backorders and they’ll ship October 6th.
Yet another article of clothing to add to your superhero wardrobe. Mark McMillan has an idea for “goggle bandannas,” with removable eye pieces and breathable cushioning to provide extra comfort and convenience. Looking snazzy while riding that road warrior bike, you’ll be sure to have heads turning to see your flashy fluorescent goggle bandanna. You can even wear the goggles underneath a motorcycle helmet, but why would you want to? We all know these goggles were invented for fine parades through San Francisco.
Let’s face it. As we get older, are grasp on our memory fades. Whether it be because of an early on-set of Alzheimer’s or just because we’re bored with seeing the same old thing everyday, we start to notice less than we did when we were younger.
Researchers at the University of Tokyo have developed a pair of goggles which records everything you see, identifies objects, and creates a searchable video database of the troubles you’ve seen. The Cyber Goggles transmit a live video feed to your computer, and then analyzes the images with a ultrahigh-speed image recognition processing software, then creates the database after distinguishing objects. This could really come in handy for those who misplace their keys and gadgets all of the time. — Andrew Dobrow
I don’t know whether wearing the Medusa line of gear from Oakley makes you look more like some crazy Aztec warrior or a peace (and hemp) loving Jamaican. Either way, the Medusa Hat and Goggles go together like peas and carrots, and not in some Forrest Gump mushy “I love you, Jennnnay” type of way.
In typical Oakley style, the Medusa gear will cost you an arm and a scalp. The Goggles will set you back $250, with the Hat costing a whopping $500. Guess it costs a lot to look so good. — Andrew Dobrow
