    Jeeper Creepers. Where'd You Get Those Peepers

    posted @ 8/10/2008 10:08:00 PM by Douceswild


    There's a new trend in overseas. Not only are colored contacts popular, but it seems that anime eyes are the big thing now in Japan. Anime eyes are usually characterized as large cartoonish eyes that are common in Japanese art and animation or "anime" as it's known in the states.

    Japanese men seem to have a liking for large eyes on their women, but there's no cosmetic surgery that I know of that can make the eyes bigger. Some girls have turned to extra-wide contact lenses. They're not only tinted, but tinted prominently in the extra-wide outer ring. The result is the appearance of a bigger, wider iris.



    The lenses are made by a variety of companies including Geo and Dueba, and cost in the $30-$50 per pair range. The contacts are not only cosmetic. If you send your prescription to them, the lenses will be made to order.

    Why is This Woman Smiling?

    posted @ 2/15/2007 12:44:00 AM by evermore
    Judging by the expression on this woman's face, she is having the time of her life. Obviously, it is the result of what she is viewing on the Icuiti video eyewear. See if you can guess what she is watching:

    A. The L Word
    B. Apple's latest "I'm a Mac" ad on TV
    C. A giant fort of unsold PlayStation 3 consoles at Best Buy
    D. Porn
    E. Nothing at all -- she's a model, dammit!

    The answer, of course, is E. A woman who looks like that wouldn't be caught dead wearing a plastic pair of wraparound shades connected to a video game (as you can see from the expanded view below).

    The nerdy guy also portrayed on this page? His expression is much more believable. The device, called the iWear VR920, purports to let you "step inside" the game via a "3-degree-of-freedom head tracker."




    Icuiti is marketing the device for players of MMORPG games like World of Warcraft, but it can also play on consoles, according to the accompanying literature. Here are some other features of the device:

    • Designed for use with a laptop or standard PC through a simple USB and VGA connection
    • Big 62-inch virtual display viewed at 9 feet
    • Built-in noise canceling microphone for Internet VOIP communications
    • Integrated “non-dangling” headphones that can be upgraded or removed to allow the user to plug in their own headset
    • Supports component video-in from the latest generation of game consoles


    We've seen lots of virtual video headsets over the years and none have yet caught on in the gaming world. Will the iWear VR920 catch on? Not as long as it makes you look like Geordi LaForge hanging out at the beach.
