Available in 5 dpi and 6 dpi models, these pixelated sunglasses will surely delight the hipsers, as will this pretentious official description:
These futuristic glasses have been designed with a pixelated effect, deliberately reflecting society’s fascination with an “informational aesthetic”. The design clearly refers for late 1980s computerized graphics and video games such as Tetris. While computer images and graphics have been revolutionized over the past two decades, these glasses are reminiscent of society’s digital roots and how technology has inspired almost everything in use today. Even something as utilitarian as glasses can be transformed using technology.
Plus, we have a matching watch you might be interested in.

These concept sunglasses remove the sun from view using LCD lenses that lay a dark box over the sun (and only the sun), eliminating the associated glare and allowing the rest of the glasses to remain less tinted. They apparently even work at night (?). The project has been going on for years, and the company still has many months of development ahead of them, but they are now asking for support via Kickstarter. Interested parties can make a $10 donation and receive an e-mail telling you when they become available for order, or you can make a $400 donation to ensure you get one of the first pairs to roll off the assembly line.

Put ‘em on a shirt for one thing. Then, put a pair of clip-on sunglasses on the pretend 3D shirt glasses. It makes complete sense.

Hello, is this the police? Ok, listen…I dunno if I should be talking to you guys or some special branch of the military because I just walked right past an alien on the street. Yeah, an ALIEN. It was about 5-feet, 5-inches tall and it was wearing lipgloss and a Twilight shirt. Must be trying to blend in or something. Oh, and it was also talking on some crazy handheld device. Probably calling in the troops to attack.
Huh? Yeah, I drive a pickup truck….yeah, I’m wearing a flannel right now. No, I’m not DRUNK drunk. Why are you askin’ me these questions when we got tiny girl aliens runnin’ around town?
