New Technology Items: Immortal Video Sunglasses

Even though they've got a slightly strange name, these Immortal Sunglasses are well and truly excellent in every way. That's mostly because they can record extremely high-quality videos while you're wearing them, thanks to the cheeky little pinhole camera located on the front, meaning that whatever you look at goes on tape. Aside from making you slightly paranoid about what you look at for too long, this means that any active stuff you do can be recorded and transferred to your computer for viewing.

Let's get back to that high-quality video, shall we? Inevitably, many tiny cameras suffer when you come to review the blocky footage you've recorded, but with the Immortal Sunglasses there's no such disappointment. The 3 megapixel lens produces sharp, colourful images and has a resolution of 736 x 480 (that's good, by the way). When you've shot your prize-winning POV footage, then simply use the USB connection to transfer it to your computer. With 4GB of memory on board you won't be running out of space any time soon, either.

We think the Immortals would be especially good for skiing, seeing as you need sunglasses anyway when you're belting down the slippery slide of a glacier (they just make you look that little bit cooler). Truth is, they're equally good for mountain biking, hiking, jumping out of planes (the wrap-around design is pleasantly firm), and all manner of outdoor pursuits. Indoor ones too, if you like. There's a substantial 2.5 hours of battery life off a full charge, and recharging is via USB, mains or (shock horror!) the cigarette lighter in your car.
