Split lense glasses, with top part functioning as regular glass lenses (i.e. transparent) while the lower half of each lense contains LCD displays.

Tiny video cameras are imbedded into the rear facing tips of the frames and runs video feed into each LCD, so you mantain full stereo vision forward and backward.

Not a million miles from the device in True Lies, or the half-mirrored specs we have discussed here before. But for the moment, magic technology, surely?

(I know of no video cameras tiny enough to be embedded in the tips of frames. If you do, of course, please post a link.)

DrCurry -- but you thought the LCD screens were a non-issue? :)

Thanks for posting the lo-tech version, that's really cool.

Tiny cameras are everywhere. Thanks kbecker
