New Vuzix At CES 2009

CES 2009 will feature thousands of new products, and among them will be this new pair of Vuzix glasses. Those who want a private video viewing experience on their iPod will have heard of Vuzx, and the new design is an improvement over its predecessors, keeping things fairly basic despite being cool enough that Bono-wannabes won’t mind forking out a few hundred dollars for it. Known as the Wrap 920AV, it will feature an improved variation of virtual reality combined with augmented reality that allows an object or video feed to appear in space. In essence, the Wrap 920AV is able to open up certain videos away from the block panel display to give it the illusion of interactivity. Vuzix claims the optics are also improved, making you feel as though you were watching a real display compared to its previous units that had the disadvantage of a narrow frame.

Axiotron Modbook 2009 Updated

The newly updated Axiotron Modbook is cleverly designed and impressively versatile. To create the Modbook, Axiotron integrates its own hardware and software technology with a state-of-the-art Wacom Penabled digitizer and an Apple MacBook computer.

Based on a MacBook, the ModBook will come with a bunch of enhancements such as :-
* Full Bluetooth connectivity
* Lightweight design
* Scratch-resistant exterior
* Upgraded drawing surface
* AnyView LCD/ForceGlass screen cover
* GPS navigation
* Improved pen tablet performance

New software pre-loaded include Autodesk SketchBook Express. Prices for the Axiotron ModBook begins from $1,299 upwards, depending on the specifications you choose. It might sound a wee bit expensive, but it will probably be much cheaper compared to anything equivalent that Apple rolls out so count your blessings.
