We doubt that there's a horde of wearable fans jonesing for Epson's second-gen Moverio glasses (http://www.engadget.com/2014/01/06/epson-moverio-bt200/) -- not after Google's one-day Glass sale (http://www.engadget.com/2014/04/15/google-glass-public-sale-reminder/), anyway -- but they're at last available (http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/jsp/Product.do?sku=V11H560020&BV_UseBVCookie=yes#key-features), 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 (http://www.engadget.com/2014/05/01/glassnightout/)) 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 (http://www.engadget.com/2014/02/18/kegbot/).
