Epson’s latest Android glasses finally arrive for the faithful few

Epson Moverio BT-200 glasses

We doubt that there’s a horde of wearable fans jonesing for Epson’s second-gen Moverio glasses — not after Google’s one-day Glass sale, anyway — but they’re at last available, several weeks behind schedule. Spend $700 and the just-shipping BT-200 headset will put a basic (and frankly decrepit) Android 4.0 interface in front of your eyes. It does have a few tricks up its sleeve that Google can’t quite match, though. There’s head-motion tracking, wireless video mirroring and Dolby Digital Plus surround sound; you’ll also get a long-overdue camera whose LED makes it clear that you’re recording. The new Moverio is far from reproducing the cachet (or social stigmas) of Google’s eyepiece, but look at it this way: The money you save by skimping on trendier eyewear can be put toward nobler pursuits.
