Wanna Stream Videos Into Your Eyes?

First came movies on a fuzzy overhead screen, then laptops on tray tables, then portable DVD players, and, most recently, personal video players like the iPod. But what's next?

How about a jet-black headset that beams video straight into your eyes. The headset, the Myvu Universal, looks like a pair of 1980s-era sunglasses attached to a set of foam tipped earbuds. When you connect the glasses to an iPod or other compatible device-including DVD players and laptops, the picture appears to float a few feet in front of you.

The device plays video at about TV quality. While there is some slight blurring on the edges, where you can still see what's going on around you, the images are more than passable for a long international flight.

At US$200, these glasses may cost a bit more than your video player, but the look you get from other passangers-a mix of horror and curiosity, is priceless.
