I've seen the future: Has anyone ever actually used a pair of these? You plug them into your DVD player or PlayStation; they're the size of a pair of sunglasses, yet supposedly give you the illusion of watching a 52cm TV from a distance of 2 metres, with surround stereo sound. How amazing! How frightening! One airline - Japanese of course - offers them to their first class passengers.

If you've ever used them, please let me know if they actually work, by leaving a comment. I don't even have a DVD player or a PlayStation, but - gee whiz - I'd buy both in a hurry just to try these babies out, although I suspect the illusion may be on a par with those X-Ray glasses advertised on the backs of American comics.
