CES Las Vegas 2011 - Active-i

Hello Everyone,

I believe all of you have heard of, or even attended the CES Las Vegas 2011 (Consumers Electronic Show, the biggest technological event in the world).

I wanted to present you today my favorite item, the one which gave me the best feeling there.

Its name is Active-i, this is a kind of spy sunglasses, a camcorder integrated in cool fashionnable glasses.
Actually, until now, no big surprise, this exists already.

But the problem with such glasses is to aim properly: you never really know what you are recording, you always cut heads or get blur effect.


This one amazed me because of its new LCD technology: the Active-i carries the smallest LCD ever built (first constructed for the US army), and manages to give us a very clear picture through that tiny little screen!
Basically, you have a small LCD viewer that you can either put on the glasses or remove with a single click as it is plugged with a normal Jack.

I am not sure about the price, it seems to be 150$ something in QVC, but the normal price should be around 200USD I guess.

Whatever the price, I loved that stuff, that looked very cool (several colors and styles, several sizes) and efficient!



So, here is the discussion: what do you think about this and did you even hear of it before ? (you may check out some videos on their website www.active-i.net or even type it on youtube to see the official CES videos to have a clearer understanding of what this is)
