A digital camera or sunglasses
Written on 1:35 AM by SYED MUBALLIGH
How often have you found yourself saying, “If your eyes had only seen what I’ve seen”? Slip on a pair of $100 sunglasses from ThinkGeek.com, and you’ll never have to utter those words again.
A 1.3-megapixel digital camera embedded in the frame can snap a picture of 1,280 by 1,024 pixels when you push the shutter button above the right temple.
If lifting your hand to your glasses is too revealing, there’s also a quarter-size remote that activates the shutter from your pocket.
The lens is small by necessity, leading to a tiny bit of blurring on the edges of the image, but the sensor can still take well-exposed pictures inside during the day.
If someone asks why the black plastic frame is a bit thick, just explain that there is an MP3 player built in. Two earbuds dangle from the ear rests, and you switch tracks with the same buttons that control the camera’s shutter.
A flash drive also encased in the frame can hold 1 gigabyte of music and photos, which can be downloaded through a U.S.B. port.
Finally, the polarized flip-up lenses even tame the glare of the sun.
