By Brenda Stokes on Thursday, Aug 13th 2009 No Comments

MyvuCrystalWe’ve talked about the wearable media viewers offered by Myvu before but it seems the company’s latest offering, the Crystal EV will soon be available at airports in the U.S. and InMotion Entertainment stores.

The new screen size measures in at 64-inches and uses SolidOptix tech. It can be used with Nokia and Apple devices and sports stereo earphones, noise reduction and a 640 x 480 VGA resolution screen.

Other features include an inline remote, a cable bundle and more. An add on bundle includes an iPhone cable and a travel case. A release date has yet to be announced, but you can get the Crystal EV for $300 and with the add-on for $325 soon.

DIY wearable computer with head-up display

Augmented reality – integrating data from computer and internet sources with everyday life – is showing up more and more lately, as cellphones learn to geotag landmarks and webcams are coaxed into spotting special ID glyphs, but we’re still a way off from a true mainstream-commercial head-up display.  MicroPCTalk forum member fiveseven808 decided to take matters into his own hands, and hacked together a wearable computer with the eyepiece from a Myvu Crystal, a Sony UMPC and a Motorola iDEN i425 for cheap, always-on connectivity.

Myvu Crystal 701 video goggles: deceptively appealing?

By Chris Davies on Monday, Jul 28th 2008 No Comments

Let’s be blunt, you’d have to be a brave person (or entirely lacking in self-awareness) to wear these out in public.  Yet after reviewing the Myvu Crystal 701 video glasses, Gear Diary’s Dan Cohen seems surprisingly impressed.  Promising the effect of a 4:3 aspect display viewed from 2m at 640 x 480 VGA resolution, the 701 glasses hook up to standard AV connections or, in Dan’s case, your iPod to stop you from squinting at the relatively tiny screen.

Myvu Crystal 701 & Shades 301 VR glasses

By Chris Davies on Friday, Jun 6th 2008 No Comments

Bless this woman for at least trying to look sultry while sporting a ridiculous pair of VR glasses.  Fresh from Myvu, the oddly-amber frames are the new flagship Crystal 701 model, running at 640 x 480 VGA resolution and promising a 22.5 degree field-of-view; that’s 33-percent wider than previous versions.  Creating the perception of a 4:3 screen 2m ahead of the wearer, they’re powered by a Li-poly battery that’s good for four hours.
