While Microsoft's HoloLens, the Oculus Rift, and HTC's Vive usually steal The Next Big Thing limelight, companies like Vuzix are stepping in to the new market with a range of video eyewear and smart glasses to cover the full range of mobile VR, PC VR, and AR solutions.

Vuzix currently has a trio of hardware aimed at revolutionizing how we see and connect to the virtual and real-world, including Android-powered VR headsets, a Google Glass-like contender, and video-powered sunglasses. Check below for a quick synopsis of Vizux's line of video glasses and headsets

  • iWear Wireless Video Headphones - Powered by Android 5.0, the iWear headset is a wireless and mobile VR solution that can run a smattering of Google Play apps as well as play VR games and stream 2D, 3D or 360-degree VR movies.
  • VidWare B3000 Waveguide Sunglasses - Vizux is the first to put integrated video on a pair of stylish sunglasses. Some models of the glasses are AR-ready, whereas others can connect to the cloud for seamless entertainment and information access.
