U. Inc. Editor's choice for 2006 Gadget of the Year is myvu personal media viewer for iPod. MicoOptical ( www.microoptical.net ) has created a whole new form of audio/visual entertainment with this outstanding product. The eye-gear is sleek, stylish, lightweight, comfortable to wear and includes noise reducing ear buds and nose pads.
An incredible feature is that myvu imaging remains stable as you move. Sitting, standing, reclining or walking (be careful!) won't disrupt your video experience. While watching the video, you can see above, below and around the screen, which creates a unique visual sensation.
Our favorite myvu works with 30, 60 or 80GB iPods. A secure shell holds the iPod safely in place while the 6-hour battery life lets you watch several movies back to back. The eyewear output has 320x240 24-bit color at 50-60Hz, which means the LCD SolidOptlex(TM) screens give you the equivalent of watching a 27" TV from 6 feet away.
Also, the myvu piggybacked with your iPod battery boosts playtime to an amazing 20 hours. The auxiliary video input can sense between NTSC and PAL and tolerates operating temperatures between freezing and 104 degrees Fahrenheit. The sound quality is extremely crisp and clear. For those who wear heavy or large glasses, you may want to order the prescription lens snap-on device available. The myvu personal media viewer costs $299.95 at http://www.myvu.com/buy.html . There is also a Universal edition myvu , which works with non-iPod media players.
MicoOptical's focus on cutting-edge technology is available in a wide range of products with applications in the medical, law enforcement, video production and military areas. MicroOptical also has a strategic alliance with worldwide ophthalmic leader, Essilor International, to deliver the highest quality images through eyewear devices for those of you wearing contacts or glasses. Check out their site for the latest advancements in optical devices.
You can expect to see myvu personal media viewers in the mainstream on a large scale this year...Maybe you'll look as good as this myvu fan?
