FASHION CONSUMER ELECTRONICS COMPANY NABES ISSUED PATENT FOR VIDEO SUNGLASS SYSTEM DESIGNED FOR IPHONES AND SMARTPHONES
Detachable Micro-Viewer Transforms a Variety of Compatible Sunglasses to Stealth Video Eyewear, Creating a Virtual 75-Inch 2D or 3D Personal Theater Experience
Amesbury, MA - Fashion Consumer Electronics Company Nabes, LLC today announced that they have been granted a US design patent for their video eyewear system. The Nabes system is comprised of the company’s user-detachable binocular micro-viewer that clips into Nabes compatible fashion sunglasses. The system connects to iPhones, Smartphones or most any consumer video source. Nabes binocular micro-viewer creates the experience of a private, high-quality personal theater with a 75-inch virtual image viewed from a distance of 9 feet. Nabes’ micro-viewer is tiny in size (approximately 0.75-inches H x 0.6-inches D x 3.3-inches L), convenient to carry and quickly clips in and out of the compatible sunglasses. It’s patented, folded optics create a stealthy 0.6-inch thin viewer that hides behind the frame so the user appears as if they are wearing normal sunglasses when the viewer’s installed. The compact size also provides the comfort of good peripheral vision so users feel safe and remain aware of their surroundings. This patented detachable system allows Nabes to design and market a variety of sunglass styles appealing to a wide variety of consumer tastes. The patent also gives Nabes the ability to license third-party eyewear manufacturers to design the Nabes attachment feature into their sunglasses.
Nabes’ patented center-mount design eliminates any torque transmitted from the frame to the micro-viewer, thus maintaining precise optical image alignment. This makes possible a consistent high-quality viewing experience free from image distortion and eyestrain. Bob Spaller, Nabes President/CTO and inventor said, “For years Industry analysts have said that video eyewear is the only way to comfortably watch TV and movies from small screen players while retaining pocket portability, but it won’t gain widespread acceptance if the user feels uncomfortable and looks like a sci-fi character.” Spaller continued, “Nabes’ breakthrough design fundamentally changes video eyewear from a “Gawkward” niche product into a chic essential entertainment companion for the massive iPhone and Smartphone market.” Nabes has designed a complete system including critical manufacturing processes for the viewer optics and electronics as well as working prototypes of the system with plans to begin production in late 2012. The first Nabes product will weigh approximately 2 ounces, have WVGA resolution with iOS, composite video, HDMI and USB interfaces on a rechargeable control box with 4-hours of run time, stereo in-ear earphones, and sell with high-quality fashionable sunglasses offering full UV protection, all at less than an estimated $500 MSRP.
