Tired of wearing aviator-style sunglasses -- just like every other fashionable person you know? Here's a piece of headgear, labeled "the ultimate pair of sunglasses" that will certainly set you apart.

Granted, they're not the most attractive shades I've ever seen -- but it's clear the designers were shooting for function over form. The visor is a solar array, which charges batteries, that in turn power a number of on-board gadgets. You probably already noticed the built-in earphones (the little metallic tube coming out the back), and the designers envision one day adding AM/FM radio, a cellphone -- even "vision transmission technology" (whatever that is).

Sounds impressive, but if they want anyone to wear this thing, they'll have to make it better-looking. Right now it seems more like a costume piece from the Robocop movies than a fashion accessory.
