"Street Theater" movie preview glasses are designed for movie stars. By wearing them the stars are able to advertise their latest film by playing the preview on the front side of the lens. Film title and rating may also be displayed. Film clips are stored in flash memory located in the frames, and the the surround sound seakers add to the experience. The lens uses LCD technology to show the film clip with minimal visual obstruction to the wearer. The only drawback may be that you attract too much attention!
Frames are made of lightweight polymers, speakers have full range aluminum cones, and the lenses are a polycarbonate sandwich with the liquid crystal diodes (LCD) in the middle. Batteries, processor and flash memory are located in the pillars on either side of the lenses. Curtains are made of thin cloth.
