Saw these in the store (Toys 'r' Us).  Looks like a 7 character
LCD display (I think the displayed text was MEET ME).  The display
unit is reasonably compact.  The plastic headbands are probably too
small for most adults, so another mounting system might be needed.

I'm tempted to get this for a friend's kids for Christmas, but I'd
also need to find safety glasses for kids; don't want to do a face
plant while wearing these.
