Video glasses, marketed using a porn star

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

Every pervert healthy young man immediately recognizes the lovely girl in the product photo as no one less than Sasha Grey in her suprisingly non-porn movie The Girlfriend Experience. Whether Chinavasion did this on purpose or not, I couldn’t think of a more clever way of selling a one-man cinema to mankind than using an adult movie star to promote it. This pair of video glasses costs a mere $134.58/€101.20 and comes with a little media player that has a built-in 1.3MP camera, 2GB of flash memory, SD card slot and is capable of playing videos, music and NES/Sega Megadrive/Gameboy Advance games on a 40″ virtual screen. Of course, it’s also possible to connect any other device with an RGB out port, like DVD players and video game consoles.  The only downside is that the resolution of 320×240 pixels per eye isn’t exactly staggering, although it’s not fair to expect much more from a product with a price tag like this.
