Video Glasses are a type of Head Mounted Display. They are also sometimes called video eyewear, video goggles and personal media viewer. A typical HMD has either one or two small displays with lenses and semi-transparent mirrors embedded in a helmet, eye-glasses or visor. The display units are miniaturised and may include CRT, LCDs, Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCos), or OLED. Some Video Glasses vendors employ multiple micro-displays to increase total resolution and field of view. Video glasses enable smart mobile device users, such as iPhone, iPod, Blackberry or Palm Pre owners to view movies and TV on an 80" virtual screen anywhere any time.

Video glasses can also act as large screen monitor in some cases replacing existing monitors and allowing smart mobile device users, iPhone owners, to experience an augmented reality. Augmented reality refers to the experience of having virtual information superimposed over the real world. For example, the Army uses video glasses and HMD's to show soldiers the location of objects, including friendly and unfriendly troops on a battlefield.

Most video glasses are ultra lightweight and come with built in earphones, iPhone&DVD adapters, battery, USB charger and can be used with a host of MP4 Players or Video Devices.
