EyeClops Night Vision Goggles let you see in the dark, even the pitch black. Traditional night vision infrared goggles cost hundreds of dollars and more, while Jakks Eyeclops night vision goggles are only $85. When you think about that price difference, you say to yourself, how could they work? After buying them for my son, I can tell you that he's having a great time playing with the goggles.
I'm sure you remember growing up and thinking how cool it would be to sneak around in the dark and be invisible. I actually researched night vision equipment, but there wasn't any around when I was a kid - it was all military stuff. Furthermore, even if you could get your hands on night vision goggles, there were like $1,000 or more.
There are a couple of changes to get used to with the Eyeclops Night Vision Goggles. First of all, it's disorienting that your vision comes from the center eyepiece on your forehead. You see, normally you see the world through your eyes, but the eyeclops night vision uses a 3rd infrared eye to collect the infrared light and distribute it to your right eye. I guess the nature of infrared night vision also prevents you from using both eyes to see in the dark.
In night vision mode, your field of vision is not as wide and not as tall as your typical 180 degree field of vision. I found out that a narrowed field of vision is a necessary limitations of night vision. Again, any night vision device you'd buy would have this small vision field as well.
Since the eyeclops night vision goggles only provide a small field of vision, and due to the fact that your night vision is only seen through the right eye, your depth perception will not work as well either. All in all, there are some guidelines to night vision, such as - don't go running around in night vision mode - you'll probably hurt yourself. Walking around is fine, however. Just be safe about it.
Because I was curious about why you only get 1 eye's worth of night vision, I researched and learned that the reason this is so is because if you suddenly need to have regular night vision you can simply flip up the flap over your left eye and not have to wait for your eyes to adjust to the dark to see. If you've been running around with your eyeclops night vision goggles on for over 20 minutes, you'll not be able to see well if you attempt to use your right eye to see in either normal dark or normal light. Man, Jakks company thought of everything!
Now on this point, I'm unsure, but the Eyeclops Night Vision Glasses have 2 modes of night vision - a stealth mode and a regular infrared night vision mode. From what I've seen, the stealth mode doesn't seem to use any type of lights to illuminate the darkness, making the wearer completely invisible to others. In regular mode, the eyeclops night vision uses red lights mounted in a circle around the 3rd eye as well as the right eye to illuminate the darkness somewhat, improving your night vision, but obviously giving away your position to others.
All in all, I'm very pleased with Jakks Eyeclops Night Vision Infrared Stealth Goggles, and I think they'll make a fantastic and fun gift for your kids for Christmas 2008. Check them out, and be confident that your kids will love them and they'll learn a lot by having them. - 16036
