By Stephen J. Bronner Edited by Dan Bova

  • Open offices are starting to get a bad rap. Maybe that's why Panasonic decided to create what can only be described as horse blinders for humans. The $260 device, called Wear Space, obscures your peripheral vision and features noise-canceling headphones. I'm sure I won't be trotting to my desk wearing these anytime soon.
