Priced at $300, the Mikimoto-Beans i-Theater Video Glasses will transform any airline seat into a full-fledged movie theater experience. I've seen similar before, but this baby, once hooked to your [iPod](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ipod-classic-iphone-17-case), transforms that 2.5 inch display into a [virtual 50-inch plasma screen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xreal). It tips the scales at barely 3 ounces, has [integrated stereo headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xiaomi-mijia-smart-audio-glasses), and can be used even with non iPod video devices. The best part about the glasses, apart from its Cyclops-esque good looks, is that a single charge gives you enough juice to view an entire season of your favorite series. Great news if you're flying cross country or are on a transatlantic flight. Santa, please take note. I've been a very good girl this year. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Virtual Reality Travel Experience:** The i-Theater Video Glasses offer a virtual reality experience, making it a prime opportunity for companies in the entertainment and travel industries to create immersive travel experiences for customers. - **Lightweight Portable Technology:** With its lightweight design and built-in features, the i-Theater Video Glasses trend opens up opportunities for industries such as technology and electronics to create innovative and portable devices for personal entertainment. - **Long-lasting Battery Life:** The long battery life of the i-Theater Video Glasses presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for industries like energy and electronics to develop more efficient and longer-lasting batteries for various electronic devices. ### Who This Affects Most - **Entertainment:** The i-Theater Video Glasses trend can greatly impact the entertainment industry by creating new possibilities for immersive and interactive experiences for consumers. - **Travel:** The i-Theater Video Glasses trend presents opportunities for the travel industry to enhance the in-flight entertainment experience and provide a unique selling point for airlines and travel companies. - **Technology:** The lightweight and portable nature of the i-Theater Video Glasses opens up avenues for the technology industry to develop more advanced and user-friendly wearable devices for personal entertainment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cinematic Entertainment Headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goovis-g3-max.md) - [Wearable Private Media Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perisphere.md) - [Featherlight Entertainment Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xr-glasses.md) - [Head-Mounted HD Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goovis-g3x.md) - [4K In-Flight Entertainment Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/panasonic-avionics-astrov.md) - [Immersive Video-Streaming Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/viture-one.md) - [Home Theater-Packed Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stanbyme-go.md) - [Cinema-Scale AR Smart Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightweight-ar-glasses.md) - [Screen-Projecting AR Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/screenprojecting-ar-glasses.md)
