Season's Hottest Gagets
(ARA) - Looking for the perfect gift for your favorite gadget fanatic or frequent flyer? How about a personal media viewer?
The two latest editions of the award-winning myvu personal media viewers - myvu solo plus and myvu universal, let users watch their favorite movies, TV shows and more on a private screen anytime, anywhere. The solo plus is designed specifically for iPods, including the new nano, iPod touch and iPod classic. The universal edition works with multiple devices like mobile phones, portable DVD players, iPods and other media players such as Archos, Zen and Microsoft's Zune.
With myvu, you won't have to watch a two-hour feature film on a small 2.5-inch screen that you have to hold up to your face. It's not a very comfortable or practical situation - especially if you're traveling. The funky eyewear puts a crisp hands-free viewing experience right in front of your eyes on a vivid virtual screen. The display and audio systems are built right into the eyewear, so it can be worn in any on-the-go situation or while relaxing at home. Catch up on your favorite TV shows while commuting to work on the subway or sit back and relax while watching a movie on your red eye back home - all on a full-sized screen.
Myvu offers users a personal TV-like viewing experience while still maintaining the mobility that today's media players offer. Resembling a pair of sleek, dark sunglasses, the patented display system with a see-through and see-around design lets you maintain awareness of your surroundings while catching up on your favorite videos. Also, don't worry if you wear glasses. You can purchase a clip-on lens that fits right into myvu to suit your viewing needs.
"Unlike an immersive headset system that blocks users from seeing anything but the screen, myvu offers 'situational awareness,'" says Kip Kokinakis, CEO of myvu. "We use a thin optical bridge that lets you see over and under the screen so that you're aware of what's going on around you. That makes it ideal for today's multitasking lifestyle -- whether you want to have your own movie marathon on a cross-country flight or catch up on your favorite show while texting your buddies."
What's more, you'll be in stylish, hip company -- myvu was featured at this year's Maxim Style Awards in Los Angeles and presented to Hollywood's top celebrities and trendsetters. So you may have something in common with some of your favorite celebs!
Myvu universal and solo plus are currently available from select retailers throughout the United States. You can also purchase them online at www.myvu.com.
