It is a beautiful day as I walk Nerd Beach looking for things that have washed up from the Cyber Sea. I am also watching a Nova video from my iPod while doing this, thanks to the Myvu video glasses that recently washed up. Ah, the joys of the multi-tasking nerd.
Myvu has released their Shades 301 video glasses, a version of which are designed to work with video iPods. The glasses feature a 320×240 display, "Ultimate Ears" noise reducing earphones, and a design that allows you to look up from the video to your surroundings through the sunglass portion. The glasses feature a changeable dock connector which allows you to use them with something other than an iPod (with optional connectors from Myvu).
The unit is powered by a rechargeable battery, which allows for up to 10 hours of viewing on a charge. You can also charge the glasses from a handy USB port. The Shades 301 Video Glasses will set you back about $200.
