Expected to be released later this month from Vuzix is the iWear AV920-C, a headset specifically designed for first-person shooters. The device is capable of accepting video from anything with a composite video-out and displays it on its internal 640X480 LCD’s. It also allows gamers to connect up to four headsets together in a daisy chain to a single gaming console. Perfect for FPS gamers, the internal screen will display only your specific in-game view, eliminating the split-screen view on a typical television set. So not only does the iWear AV920-C bring you closer to being inside Call of Duty, Halo 3, or whatever your game of choice happens to be; but by eliminating the splitscreen, no longer can you peek onto your buddy’s side and check out where he is or what he’s up to.
According to Vuzix, wearing the headset is the equivalent to viewing a 62-inch display viewed from 9 feet away. No telling what it does to your retna’s, however, after hours of use. Price will also be announced later this month with the release of the headset.
