# Multi-Media Sunglasses Thanko All-In-One Video Glasses By Yolanda Solo | Published 2008-09-24 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multi-media-sunglasses-thanko-all-in-one-video-glasses References: [akihabaranews](http://www.akihabaranews.com/en/news-16688-Thanko+Launches+New+All-in-One+Glasses+Update+:+Official+Press+Pictures) & [thanko.jp](http://www.thanko.jp/) The new Thanko sunglasses have a [50 inch virtual screen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xreal) and can play music and video files from the MiniSD card or can be plugged into your VHS/DVD players. The [built-in media player](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perisphere) lets you listen to your favorite music as the virtual screen plays videos or slideshow photos. [Lightweight, weighing in at only 0.28 lbs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/full-feature-colorful-ar-ai-glasses), the glasses and accessories fit into a compact carrying case so they can be easy taken in your luggage. Not the most attractive glasses in the world, that´s for sure, but with everything they can do, do you really care? Well yes, I do! Although I can see the appeal of them who go on long plane journeys and want to avoid eye contact with other passengers, I can only see gadget freaks being brave enough to wear them out in public. They're close to being something really cool, but not quite close enough. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Virtual Reality Glasses:** A trend towards all-in-one glasses that provide a virtual reality experience with built-in media players and compact design for easy portability. - **Multimedia Eyewear:** An emerging trend of sunglasses that have built-in media players and virtual screens, allowing users to watch videos and listen to music on the go. - **Discreet Entertainment Devices:** A trend towards discreet and compact wearable devices that provide entertainment options, such as video glasses, for individuals who want to enjoy media without the need for external screens. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Technology:** The technology industry can explore the development of all-in-one glasses with improved aesthetics, functionality, and compatibility with various media formats. - **Travel and Leisure:** The travel and leisure industry can capitalize on the demand for portable entertainment devices by offering rentals or in-flight entertainment packages that include virtual reality glasses with pre-loaded content. - **Fashion Accessories:** The fashion accessories industry can collaborate with eyewear manufacturers to create stylish and appealing designs for multimedia sunglasses, targeting both tech enthusiasts and fashion-conscious consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Immersive Video-Streaming Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/viture-one.md) - [Demure Display-Equipped Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meta-rayban-display-sunglasses.md) - [Portable XR Screens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rayneo-air-3s-pro.md) - [Screen-Projecting AR Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/screenprojecting-ar-glasses.md) - [Attachable Eyewear Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spatial-video-camera.md) - [Wearable Computer Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nimo-planet.md) - [Featherlight Entertainment Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xr-glasses.md) - [Cinema-Scale AR Smart Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightweight-ar-glasses.md) - [Extended Reality Gaming Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/virtue-one.md)
