Technology: 720p HD Sunglasses: Stylish. Awesome. Creepy.

June 23, 2011 by Hannibal Tabu Leave a Comment

Plucky startup company ZionEyez has given everyone a reason to wear their sunglasses at night (or any other time, for that matter):

The company's eponymous specs feature a built-in 720p HD video camera mounted just left of the right lens–and, believe it or not, it gets better:

The sleek shades also come equipped with a microphone, 8GB of storage for up to three hours of recording time, and a microUSB port. They can also connect via Bluetooth and WiFi, which when coupled with ZionEyez' iPhone and Android apps lets you upload on the go.

It appears a new frontier for concert, movie, and strip-club bootlegging is just around the corner, guaranteeing no one will masquerade with the guy (or girl) in shades ever again.
