Camera Glasses?

Here's another question regarding videoing hunts.  Has anybody tried the glasses that have the video camera integrated into the frames?  It's hard for me to imagine that these would work well considering how small the camera would have to be, but I figured I would ask here to see if anybody has tried them. If they were any good at all, it seems to me they would be a game-changer in terms of easily getting good video of hunts, but nevertheless, I am skeptical....

I have a pair that I bought several years ago for waterfowl hunting. This was probably 7 or 8 years ago so I'm sure their technology has changed/improved, but I was less than satisfied with mine. There is no kind of zoom capability (on mine), the audio flat sucks, and when you shoulder your gun to shoot, the camera is pointed too far to your dominate eye side. I had to learn to straighten my head to get the sight picture of the camera to include the bead and what I was shooting unless the bird was crossing right to left (i shoot right handed). Not only was straightening my head more parallel with the gun uncomfortable, it affected my shooting because it was so inconsistent and unnatural. I realize you wouldn't be shooting much for turkeys and it may not be as big of an issue, but for any kind of high volume shooting, I don't think you'd be satisfied. They'd be good for filming something close up and directly in front of you, but filming a turkey 30 yards from you while you had your cheek on the stock wouldn't work well in my experience. I'd send you my pair to try if you wanted to give them a shot.

Mine are the I-Kam Extreme glasses by the way.

I forgot about those. I have a pair somewhere that I got really cheap. Used them bowfishing. Footage sucks.
