Vuzix Corp. has made available the new Wrap 1200 video eyewear. The plug and play, sunglass-style Wrap 1200 features an industry-best 16:9 aspect ratio widescreen 3-D display that is equivalent to viewing a 75-inch display from 10 feet. The Wrap 1200 is the ideal travel companion to watch movies or catch up on television shows on a long flight and supports both 2-D and 3-D content.

"We spent over a year developing the Wrap 1200, ensuring it is one of the most advanced, feature rich video eyewear ever produced," said Paul Travers, chief executive officer, Vuzix. "The combination of a 16:9 high-resolution widescreen display along with our AccuTilt display angle technology provides our customers with an unmatched mobile viewing experience.

"The Wrap 1200's AccuTilt technology allows the user to adjust the eyewear up or down 15 degrees to achieve the optimum viewing angle and a customized fit. The Wrap 1200 also has optics that allow the user to position the displays to match the user's IPD (interpupillary distance or eye separation) allowing for the optimum placement in front of each eye (much like binoculars).

The Wrap 1200 also has convenient on-screen display controls (brightness, contrast, hue and colour saturation), independent left and right eye focal adjustment and both component and composite video connections for superior video quality and maximum compatibility with devices including, game consoles, media players, phones, DVD players and tablets. Optional VGA connectivity is available along with a full line of accessories.

The stylish Wrap 1200 is wearable over most prescription glasses and features an adjustable hypoallergenic nosepiece and detachable premium quality noise-isolating stereo earphones to ensure an unmatched user experience. Two included rechargeable AA batteries and charger provide up to three hours of video playback or users can substitute two lithium ion batteries for up to seven hours.

The Vuzix Wrap 1200 is available now at Vuzix.com for $499.99.
