The glasses can be worn around the house, but it's really on unimpeded, longer walks that they help you strut your stuff. Supposedly, wearing them 20 minutes a day helps the brain to repattern. Good stuff.

I don't have a website for the company that developed and distributes it, but here's an email for your research:
