You can now watch the videos on your iPod through virtual reality glasses.

Called the Mikimoto Beans i-Theater, the unit claims to offer the wearer the experience of a 50" plasma screen.

The glasses weigh 78g, have dual qVGA (320x240) TFT screens, integrated stereo headphones and will run for six hours.

Since 5G iPods only offer up to 640x480 pixel playback and a qVGA screen has 1/27th the resolution of a standard 50 inch plasma screen, the size/quality claims are a little dubious.

The goggles appear to have a lower resolution than similarly priced alternatives that don't have any iPod branding. RCA plugs (phono connectors) mean you can connect other devices like portable DVD players.

I will personally laugh my chops off the day I see someone wearing these glasses on the tube. The neon blue lights flashing out the front of the unit will be great for Xmen/Geordie wannabes.

They cost $329.00 (around £199 inc. VAT) and are available now.
