This is not a dilemma I shall face in my near lifetime, but perhaps it is one you already face: how to view the videos you’ve downloaded to your iPod, SansaView or Microsoft Zune in comfort. Face it, there’s something irretrievably uncool about squinting like the sun is in your face just to catch the final episode of last season’s 24 on a screen that’s too small for your eyeballs.

Myvu has the solution: They’re called personal media viewers, and they resemble hyper-techie, Bono-fashionable sunglasses with built-in earbuds.

The myvu viewer takes the output signal from a portable media player or other device and projects a floating image onto the lenses that the user can see around — providing an interesting viewing experience for “on-the-go” people. The viewer includes a rechargeable battery for up to four hours of viewing time.

New models include the myvu shades and myvu crystal.

The next time you see a well-outfitted teenager bumping into planter boxes in a shopping mall, don’t think to yourself, “Oh, that poor kid must be having horrendous growth spurts that leave him incapable of knowing where his legs end and his feet begin.” Think to yourself, “I wonder what he’s watching.”
