The NEC telescouter is for those of you who just can’t get enough time staring at a screen at home, at work, or on your phone. The battery only works for 4 hours, but that should be enough to get you from screen to screen.What separates this headset from others? It’s not just a pair of glasses that shows video. It’s a pair of glasses that includes “augmented reality,” or AR.
Among other things, this headset reminds you of the names of the people you see. Specs

The system functions on 500 MHz, 256 MB of RAM. It runs on Windows CE 6.0, in order to save space on the 2GB that are built-in. It also includes a camera.

If you have $5,000 laying around, why not buy one?

If $5,000 is a bit high for you, you can try out a cheaper pair of glasses from Vuzix, which start at a humble $200. The cheaper Vuzix screens don’t have AR functionality, and don’t look as much like a normal pair of glasses.

So if you have $5,000 to blow and need very badly to remember people’s names, this may be the gadget for you. If you’re worried about what you’ll look like wearing this at parties, you may just want to hire an assistant.
