Third Eye Video Camera Makes You Look Like a Cyclops
February 18th, 2009
Can’t figure out where to put that pesky camcorder when you’re out and about? Why not free your hands and strap the darned thing to your head?
This ridiculous looking (and badly named) “Third Eye” video camera attaches to your forehead using a stretchy elastic headband, and lets you capture images and videos hands-free.
With a $299.95 (USD) price tag it’s just a wee bit ridiculous for a camera that can only shoot videos at lousy 320 x 240 resolution (I think my wristwatch can capture higher res video these days). But I can assure you that the looks you’ll draw walking around with one of these strapped to your head will be priceless.

Wow – while the concept is good – hands free and it is centered exactly where you are looking, it just doesn’t look right. A little off on the price point too for that resolution.
When the battery goes dead, your third eye is blind. So much for taping your semi-charmed life hands-free.
