I don’t say these are the best but certainly a step in the right direction. The Lumus PD-20 offers a reflection from a Light-guide Optical Element (LOE) that is directly in the eye’s line of sight to the wearers instead of looking at the actual image source. The thing that appeals to me the most is the chic make of the Lumus PD-20, which you will surely love to wear. The innovative technology behind the video glasses will let the users enjoy the nig screen experience anywhere on the move.

1. Toshiba’s ‘360-degree’ head mounted display

It could be the way we will be watching our TV programmes and PC games in the near future. Toshiba has developed a giant full-faced helmet that weighs around three kilo and facilitates the wearer to see a full 360-degree view on a 40 cm dome-shaped fish-eye screen. The idea of full ‘360-degree viewing is fabulous but do you guys think it’s really fabulous with that gigantic 3 kg helmet on your head? It could have been a ground-breaking gizmo if they had made it a bit small. Anyway, this gadget might be on your head in the coming time when you will be watching your much-loved TV program or playing a computer game.
