Show and Tell: MyVu Crystal 数码新资讯：MyVu眼镜

CNN's Richard Lui takes a look through the MyVu Crystsal.

It's a world of very busy lives. Imagine though of a device like this and you become Geordie La Forge from Star Trek¹: The Next Generation, and it helps in the multitasking.

This is a Myvu Crystal. It's one of those video eye-wear pieces, and it's kind of cool. It's got this thing here which is your controller. You got the power, you got your volume, bright, darkness, and you got your I-pod. I'm watching one of our great Show and Tells. Alright, so what’s the great things about this?

Let's start with some of the pros². What you got on this? (Laugh) All right, you gotta look at this. This is about the Wii Fitness and I’ve watched it’s got two screens in there. Can you see it? All right. It's pretty funny, one here, one here, but when you put it on your eyeballs, it just looks like one. And right now the size of this screen is probably about like a, I don't know, 35, 40-inch screen, maybe sitting in about 8, 10 feet away at the moment.

What's kind of cool is like, they are like trifold, cause' I can see like this and like that, which allows me to sit down and read things if I want, and watch this thing. It's got these two earbuds too, pretty good sound. And what's great is you don't have another set of wires, right? You just have these two going straight into the controller other than an I-pod. You can connect this to a lot of different items; the issue here though is you got these wires.

This is a USB cord. You just plug it right into it. It charges it up. And the batteries last for about 4 hours. Whether you actually wear the thing for 4 hours, that’s another question. You got all these other cables, an AV cable, I-pod AV cable, N95 cable, this cable , that cable, I feel like I'm getting a EKG sometimes on this thing, but it's good so far.

Another application, a lot of you guys are travelers, right? Well, you know, If you are gonna sit back in your chair, you know how sometimes you are using your computer, or you are watching a movie, just don't want other people to see it. This is great privacy. Nobody knows what you are looking at. You kinda lean back watch the movie on a plane.

Ah, but you're not. So, that's what's kind of great about this thing. You get to watch your own stuff and nobody can see it. So there you have it, the Myvu Crystal, it's like one or five pickup³ bottles I have been looking at that's out on the market and even around for a bunch of years. They function pretty well for the most part. But you know, there is always a challenge we ask ourselves about these things nowadays. How does it look? Is it fashionable? And if you don't think it is, there still may be another purpose for this.
