Myvu Viewer

The Myvu head-mounted display (HMD) designed by MicroOptical Corp., was made specifically for the 30G, 60G and the 80G Apple iPod® with video capabilities. Like other HMDs, the Myvu provides a hands-free, big-screen personal viewing experience but unlike most of them it is one of the smallest and lightest eyewear displays available today.

Myvu contains built-in video viewing and audio systems for high quality viewing. Users can connect it to the iPod or other mobile processing unit and perceive eight hours of immersive visualisation. A small pendant provides easy access to playback and brightness controls. Currently the price is around $300 but the company will try to reduce the price to $99 and put the optics into ordinary prescription glasses.
