Fans of 3D now have another reason for looking forward to the holiday season, as the price of the Vuzix Wrap 920 3D glasses have been slashed in time for Cyber Monday. Additionally, the company has also decided to treat users by enabling this product to support side-by-side 3D videos on YouTube.

Even if optimized for 3D, the Wrap 920 gear is capable of displaying 2D content as well. Users can enjoy videos and movies directly from their iPod, iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, portable DVD players, digital cameras, camcorders, PC or laptop with a VGA port, or mobile phones capable of video output. When being used, the device creates an illusion of a 67-inch virtual display being viewed from a distance of 10 feet.

Paul J. Travers, Chief Executive Officer, cited, “The expansive library of videos in both 2D and 3D on YouTube, combined with the portable large screen theater of the Wrap 920, makes for a viewing experience like no other. 3D is in the mainstream and our Wrap 920 now takes advantage of beautiful 3D in an affordable and convenient package for all users”

Marking the occasion of Cyber Monday on November 28, the Vuzix Wrap 920 price has been discounted by $50 and the pricing is marked to be $249.99 (approx. Rs. 13,120).
