Insert Coin: Eyez 720p video-recording glasses (video)

In Insert Coin, we glance at an exhilarating new tech project that requires funding before it could possibly hit production. If you would like to pitch a project, please send us a tip with “Insert Coin” because the subject line.

We first heard concerning the Eyez video recording glasses concept back in March , when those familiar black frames packed a 1080p camera, 16GB of flash memory, WiFi, and dual exawatt-class lasers (ok, we made that last part up). Named for its product’s “utopic vision,” ZionEyez now has a prototype with a more grounded spec list, including a 720p camera and 8GB of memory, together with micro-USB and Bluetooth connectivity for livecasting to Qik or LiveStream — Truman Show style. Afraid you will not have the capacity to pull off those high-tint lenses at night or in that high secret (indoor) business meeting? You could swap out the removable sunglass lenses for a transparent version, or throw to your prescription in daylight (tinted) or indoor flavors, since many optical stores stock appropriately sized lenses. Availability for these $199 HD Ray Ban clones is currently slated for fall (assuming ZionEyez hits its funding target), but you may pre-order your pair for $150 on Zion’s Kickstarter page.
