Remember when you were a kid and you would see the cartoons with all the cool gadgets of the future? Well, these days you don’t have to look too far because there are some new and emerging sunglasses styles that are seemingly trying to mimic some of these cartoon gadgets. You of course are used to the regular sunglasses that only protect you from the harmful UV rays of the sun. Then there are specialty sunglasses for shooting that help you see more clearly. These are great functions, but nothing like what is coming out on the market right now.
Ever had problems with trying to listen to your MP3 player while wearing sunglasses? Sometimes, your sunglasses can get in the way, which can make it tricky to keep the ear buds in. But now there are some new sunglasses on the market that have an MP3 player built right into them, so you never have to go without your music. They hold about 4GB of music, come with their own rechargeable battery, and cost close to what you would pay for a decent MP3 player anyway.
Another type of sunglasses that has recently been introduced is spy sunglasses, which allow you to take pictures and even record video. These camera glasses are great for journalists, private investigators, or anyone else who wants the convenience of being able to take photos with their sunglasses. Some of the more recent models have 3-megapixel cameras, hold up to 8GB of memory, and have a battery life of up to three hours at a time (the only drawback is that you are not going to be getting that real time intelligence from your partner back at headquarters!). And the best part is that they cost about what you would pay for a small handheld video camera. So the next time you are in the market for a new video camera or sunglasses, you might want to look for a pair of these.
What about a pair of sunglasses that could save your life? One of the problems with being outdoors a lot is that we sometimes just do not realize how hot we get. People end up with heat stroke and heat exhaustion all the time, and just do not realize that they may have overdone it or that their body is just too hot. Luckily there is a pair of sunglasses out in the market right now designed to prevent this very sort of thing from happening. They have a sensor on the nose guard that monitors your brain temperature. You wear a corresponding wrist monitor and when you become too hot, you will be alerted to the danger.
These are just a few examples of some of the cooler, more unique functional sunglasses currently hitting the market. Others include solar powered sunglasses, sunglasses for night vision, and even sunglasses for your dog! In the final analysis, sunglasses are no longer just a fashion statement, nor are they simply a way to protect your eyes from the hazardous UV rays of the sun. These days, sunglasses can actually come equipped with some of the coolest new technology you can imagine.
