The iWear VR920 are the first video glasses specifically designed to let you step inside virtual worlds and 3D games. No more staring at flat screens; the iWear VR920 creates an immersive, 360° viewscape that's unlike anything you've ever experienced before!

Used with normal 2D video and pictures, the iWear VR920 works like any other iWear glasses, displaying movies and videos with crystal clarity and brilliant colours. But hook the VR920 up to a PC running a compatible game like World of Warcraft or Second life, and it's like stepping into a whole different world! You can move, look around, listen, and communicate with others using the built-in microphone - it's a new reality for gamers.

     Do not set your expectations 'too' high.

    Like most people, I read a number of Reviews on the VR920 before I finally decided to buy the product. Unfortunately nothing I read quite prepared me for the disappointment.

    One of the biggest things for me when purchasing the product was the promise of a 62" virtual screen viewed from 8ft away. But in reality the screen is much more like a standard 19" screen viewed from 4-5ft away.

    This wouldn't be quite so bad if it wasn't for the fact that the picture quality is so grainy, and no matter what position I fit the glasses on my face, they always seems to be just out of focus.

    The actual Glasses themselves are well built. The earphones detach from the legs which is good because they can be quite uncomfortable and hard to fit properly depending on the person trying to use them. The Glasses themselves however are quite comfortable to wear, although still feel heavy.

    Unfortunately the good build comes secondary for me to the disappointing picture quality, and the only reason I didn't give the glasses 1 star was due to the fact that they do actualy work(albeit, not very well) and the build quality.

    I'd also like to point out to people who are considering buying the product for gaming purposes that the VR920 only supports 3d and virtual gaming for a small number of titles. I was aware of this before purchasing but it isn't a fact that 'everyone' seems to be aware of.

    I would only recommend buying the VR920 if you 'realy' want to experience 3d or VR gaming in one of the few titles that supports it, don't mind the disappointing picture quality and don't mind forking out 245 quid for the privilege. for anyone else I would advise them to steer well clear.
