"The glasses only take up your top half of your field of view - you
can look down and see a lot of the outside world, and even walk around
the house if you needed to just by looking down."

"One of Myvu's claims to fame is that it uses optics you can see
through, so while you will see an uninterrupted image inside the
glasses, windows in front also let in a little bit of light to give
you some situational awareness--you can see people walking towards
you, navigate around obstacles, and so on, without bumping into them.
Myvu has taken this concept one step further with the Crystal by
offering the front "lenses" in either black, which filters out most
external light, or amber, which lets in more light."

"The Myvus are also a lot easier to walk around with, as you can see
easily above and below the screen making driving with these a lot
safer. (I kid!)"

'After settling back to watch "The Apprentice," which I purchased from
Apple's iTunes Music Store, I was surprised to find that I felt
comfortable enough to get up and walk about.

'Pretty soon I was ironing a shirt and washing dishes while watching
apprentice wannabe Michael make mistake after mistake before getting
booted from the show with Donald Trump's famous finger-pointing
phrase: "You're fired."

'You actually can watch the video, then look above, below and around
the screen to see other things. As I walked by a mirror I could see
myself out of the corner of my eye.'
