The World Is Not Enough Gadgets

X-Ray Specs

We have been here before. The first time we saw 007 with some X-Ray Specs was in the 1967 production of Casino Royale, (you can read our report on the device HERE). 
Suffice it to say, no, you can’t have a pair.
They have not and will not, any time soon, be invented.
Having said that, the blue shades and modern blue tinged X-Ray image is all rather natty.
Even better, is that Bond is able to see through the henchman’s jacket and erm, the women’s dresses, but not their heads. Maybe these were the Xtra Spezial Edition Sunglasses.

There will be more than a few people reading this that saw the advert on the left who raided their piggy banks to own the answer to all the dreams.
