Tomorrow's news

Thursday, September 27, 2007

If you’ve ever wanted to watch porn, West Side Story or your favorite episode of “Scrubs” in crowded places without anyone knowing, then we’ve got just the thing for you.

The genius minds of Myvu Corp. have invented a “personal media viewer” that lets you watch movies, podcasts, TV shows, and other downloadable visuals with a pair of spectacles.

“It looks like a TV six feet in front of you,” says Bruce Lampert, Myvu’s vice president of marketing. “Like a TV floating in front of you surrounded by black space.”

The video goggles, equipped with noise-canceling earbuds, plug in to various video-capable iPod models and other devices, such as DVD players, mp4 players and camcorders. If you’re visually impaired, Myvu sells prescription clips that fit between the video glasses and your eyes—no squinting.

It’s crisp and clear and very bright,” Lampert says of the device’s picture quality.

“We’ve solved the small screen dilemma on portable devices.”

You can purchase the device, which debuted in January, at www.myvu.com, www.apple.com and various retailers. Expect to pay $200 to $300 for this one-size-fits-all wonder.
