Yes folks, technology has advanced to the point where night vision is now considered child’s play. Jakks Pacific has designed the ‘EyeClops Night Vision Infrared Stealth Binoculars’ which gives your child actual night vision technology for up to 50 feet. These cool toys add a whole new dimension to summer night games of hide-and-seek.
Even adults are raving about these toys and the cool factor of having real night vision. I wish I would have had one of these as a kid. Nerf wars would have been much cooler at night.
This toy uses a night vision camera to feed into a small screen that displays to the right eye of the user. For up to 50 feet (more like 30 feet based on video review) the user will see in the standard green toned night vision. No gimmicks or anything, the same night vision police and military use just scaled down to child toys. How cool is that?

EyeClops Reviews
“We took this camping and had so much fun with the kids, when the kids went to bed the adults couldn’t stop playing with it. I have a large head and the eye/focus adjustments fit me well, it also fit my 2yo. The distance that you can see is advertised at 50′ but it is more like 35′. Great toy and everyone that tries it out is blown away how cool it is and how well it works. I am working on building a flashlight with ir LEDs to use with this.” – from a customer review via ToysRUs.com
“This toy is awesome. I am an adult and I have never had so much fun. I ordered some for a camping trip and we had such a blast. I have never had a better hide and go seek game ever and it was so much fun just walking around seeing everything different. It comes in two different views and I like it in the black and white over the green night vision setting. Its not heavy or anything and once you get the sizing right for your head your good to go. I don’t know how the other person didn’t get it turned on, once you put the batteries it works fine. The batteries really is the biggest draw back because it takes so many, but I think it is well worth it. My family and friends are all now trying to steal them on me, but I won’t let them. This thing is awesome!” – from a customer review via Amazon.com
