I'd probably look like an utter plank wearing them.

Post #259,054 by tjsinclair 6/15/06 12:35:49 PM Reply	Yes. There's a video on their Web site that shows what the display looks like in the glasses. It appears as if you're holding your iPod roughly a foot (30 cm) in front of your face. Now, there is what looks like an even more expensive unit that does something similar (but in surround-o-vision) [link\|http://www.firststreetonline.com/product.jsp?path=-1\|7863&id=38106\|here], but I still have similar concerns as with myvu.
