Maybe it’s because the JSDF just likes the way they look, or perhaps it’s the strong lenses. Each one is boasts the ability to withstand an impact from an object 0.3 inches (or 6.55mm) traveling at 106 miles per hour. Those specs probably won’t mean much against a 9mm bullet speeding toward your eye at over 1,000 miles per hour, but it does make for a neat image.

These JSDF shades can also withstand a blow from all the dollar bills that will be flying out of your wallet: all 317 of them. Check out a bonus shot after the jump.

    I may sound like an ignorant twig, but this is so cool! Just like in those movies where they put on a pair of sunglasses and can see the exact statistics of a person or object standing at a distance....

Just like in those movies where they put on a pair of sunglasses and can see the exact statistics of a person or object standing at a distance. Ok, so Vuzix launched the Wrap 310, its latest video eyewear pacecode. The most striking feature of this one is that it is shaped in the form of traditional sunglasses. It also offers an improved user interface, independent focus adjustments and a choice between several lens colors. Also, it has dual LCDs with support for either 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratios. According to sources, this eyewear can give the same effect of watching a 55-inch screen from nine feet away. The eyewear is compatible with pacecodes such as iPods, iPhones, portable DVD or Blu-ray players, televisions and computers. You can listen to audio using noise-isolating earphones, which are also removable when audio is not needed or another pair of earphones is preferred. It comes with two AA-size batteries that can power it up for up to 6 hours.
