    Summit Series D1: In-Goggle Camera 

    snow_goggles

    The Liquid Image Summit Series is the world’s first snow goggle with an integrated digital camera. The goggle contains a wide angle lens to capture all the action while skiing, boarding, sledding or snowmobiling. The hands free unit has a 5.0 MP (2560 x 1920) camera mode and a video mode that records D1 video (720×480) at a rate up to 30 frames per second with audio.

    And they don’t look half-bad either!

    NewerTech USB to Video Adapter

    This new add-on sounds pretty sweet. Mmm, I predict an eventual third monitor in my future on the iMac. I’ve got just the spot for it. ;)

      Does your iMac have the power to drive the 3rd monitor?
      How large is your iMac’s monitor? Maybe, you just need one bigger monitor — though not as much geek cred.

        I have the 27″ iMac. Power: This device shouldn’t draw that many resources and is essentially a USB powered/connected video card (note: doesn’t support OpenGL acceleration). All things considered, I don’t really need a 3rd monitor. My current usage patterns with the two I have already satisfy my needs. But it’s good to know I have options, should I ever change my mind.
