Review: MicroOptical MyVu Personal Media Viewer, Universal Edition

Linked by Eugenia Loli-Queru on Fri 29th Sep 2006 15:17 UTC

Here at OSNews we like to look at new, innovative products that push boundaries and create new markets. In the past year there were only 3-4 companies wordlwide that released video glasses (goggles) to accompany the exploding market of PMPs. MicroOptical is one of these pioneers and they kindly sent us in their MyVu video glasses to take them for a spin.

Well, you will need a cable that takes your VGA signal and has an RCA-out. Not sure if you will find such a cable easily. And then you need a cable for audio, from your sound card to the two-way out RCA. It's probably easier to find such output cables for a TV-card rather than a graphics card.

Additionally, don't forget that you are watching the signal from two meters away (6.5ft), you can't really use a computer from that far away. The video glasses are made specifically for movie watching...

Looks more like the signal is 6.5 millimeters away to me.

Yes and no. The actual screens are as close, but the they simulate a screen at 2 meters away. The portrayed image is simply too small to use it as a compuer monitor.
