Spy Sunglasses
1
. The Spy Sunglasses from 007 Spy Gear are perfect for the wannabe undercover agent, as they provide the ability to record high quality video plus audio through a miniature camera embedded in the frames. Theyre no slouch in the memory department, either, packing 4GB of storage, or two hours of recorded video in AVI format. All it takes is the press of a button, and the snoop wearing them is up and running (or rather walking, nonchalantly, so as not

SunnyCam
3
. Much like the Spy Sunglasses, the SunnyCam offers high quality video, but here its HD recorded at 720p resolution. These shades can record 30 frames per second, and they come with interchangeable black and clear lenses. However, whats perhaps more impressive is the fact that theres room for a 32GB memory card if you feel the need to upgrade the 16GB card that comes with the glasses. And if discretion isnt part of your M.O., why not go for one of

EnChroma CxD
7
. In the same way that Clark Kent hid his superhero identity under the guise of an average human, the EnChroma Cx D sunglasses hide a secret under their aviator esque frames. The lenses of these superhero style glasses incorporate special filters that help to correct color blindness by obstructing the wavelengths of light that increase color confusion and thus enhancing welcome colors.

Vuzix Wrap 920

. Remember those 3D glasses given out at movie theaters with one red and one blue lens? Not only are they a thing of the past, but they cant hold a candle to the technologically advanced 3D glasses on the market, such as the Vuzix Wrap 920. These sunglasses offer an impressive movie experience: when hooked up with an NTSC or PAL machine with video out options, the glasses display the equivalent of a 67 inch screen 10 feet away from where youre situ

These pioneering variable focus glasses feature fluid injection technology that allows you to adjust the lenses to your prescription with a few twists and turns of the attached dials. And while they may look slightly odd, at least the dials can be removed once youve found the right set
