Just as expected, Lumus-Optical is all set to showcase its microdisplay-packin’ spectacles at CES, and while it doesn’t seem that the technology has changed since we first heard of them, we’ve now got a slew of photographs to go by. Apparently, the glasses will boast twin microdisplays and an ultra-thin LOE lens, which can purportedly immerse the wearer by creating the effect of viewing a 60-inch screen from ten feet away. Also of note, the company claims that unlike gaudy alternatives, these won’t make you look like a complete tool, but judging by the image above, we aren’t so sure that’s entirely accurate.

It looks like Scaler has found a bit of room for improvement in its Teleglass T4 video-playin’ shades, with the company now offering a new “limited edition” T4-N model. These ones boast a 640 x 480 resolution and, like before, promise to give the effect of watching a 45-inch display from six feet away. As you can see, the shades have also been given a few cosmetic refinements, although we’re guessing it’ll still take a certain sort of fearless individual to rock these in public. Those that think they can pull it off will have to act fast, however, as only 500 of shades are being made available for the time being, with them setting you back ¥134,400 (or roughly $1,150) apiece.
