That screen you’re staring at all day is screwing up your eyes, but you don’t do anything about it. For years, Gunnar Optiks has sold glasses that help take the strain off, but let’s face it, they make you look like an asshole. So Gunnar is trotting out a new line of glasses that look more like beachware than nerd glasses. Now you can be the the person everyone stares at while you’re trying to work—for a good reason.

It’s New Year’s Eve and unless you’ve got children to tend to you’ll probably be partying well into 2014 this evening. And while normally sunglasses aren’t required for the middle of the night, these Dropshades are, since they feature a glowing pulsing EQ that stays in sync with whatever music you’re listening to. And, the next morning when you’re hungover and dodging the sun, you’ll be even happier you’re wearing them.

Are you looking to geek up your barware? These Star Trek Enterprise glasses are classy and elegant, whether you are serving Romulan ale, Saurian brandy, scotch, beer or soda. They actually look like set pieces that might have appeared in the original Trek movies.
You get a set of four etched 7oz. glasses, each with the Starfleet Command Division Insignia and U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 ship registry on them. These glasses are officially licensed and officially awesome.
These will look great in your mess hall. Just keep your ship’s engineer away from them. He may be a miracle worker, but you don’t need him drinking too much scotch and blowing up your ship. These glasses are only $29.99(USD) from ThinkGeek.

If there’s one thing the folks at Vuzix can claim without reservation, it’s that their smart glasses have become available to the general public before anyone else, including Google. While the Vuzix M100 Smart Glasses may not have been designed with the same fashionability in mind that Google Glass was, you’ll find this wearable technology […]
Despite weighing as much as a proton and looking like I’ve been dead for six hours, I’ve only been to the hospital once. So I don’t know if doctors and nurses still have trouble with sticking syringes and other intravenous devices into patients. But if that’s still the case, Evena Medical can help. The company invented a pair of glasses that lets the wearer see through a person skin and into the veins beneath.
Evena Medical’s Eyes On Glasses have two “hyper-sensitive cameras” and two multispectral lights that lets the wearer clearly see a person’s veins, significantly improving their ability to find the best vein. It can also record what it sees as photos or videos and save it on its onboard storage or transmit it remotely via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or 3G. I don’t know if it can send the files in real time though. It also has 2-way speakers for telecommunication. Aside from the glasses, the user also has to wear a battery pack and a computer, but it’s still a portable device. Skip to about 45 seconds in the video below to see the glasses in action.
I really want to see a full body shot through those glasses. I wonder if it can see through plastic and metal too. Check out Evena Medical’s website for more info.

Google really knocked everybody’s socks off when it revealed Glass last year—everybody except glasses-wearers, that is. As the company prepares to bring the device to market, though, Google doesn’t want to leave anybody out, and that means creating Google Glass with prescription lenses.

The world of wearables – specifically with Google Glass – isn’t exactly a widely accepted one as of yet. That may all change in the near future as Google has been chatting with the eye care insurance group VSP Global, making a plan for the future in which training optometrists in fitting patients with Glass […]
People may not agree on a lot of things, which we certainly learned through our various stories covering the launch of the PlayStation 4 and upcoming launch of the Xbox One, but we’re sure there’s one thing we can agree on: we want medical professionals to easily find our veins. When you need to open up your veins to either get blood work done or to have an IV put in, medical professionals can only get better the more they practice. But with a new wearable trans-dermal imaging system, finding veins on a patient may may be extremely easy. (more…)
