My eyes and heard hurt just thinking about it. It kinda reminds me of that gizmo Steve Martin's character invented in the movie The Jerk - all the dumbasses in the movie all had to have one then they all went cross-eyed and sued him. Same thing will happen here? So we can all walk around looking like Jordy watching shrunken, fuzzy, 640×480 iTunes movies? My eyes and heard hurt just thinking about it.

You do not look like a dork, in fact people are intrigued and want to know what it is. As soon as they put the glasses on, they are hooked and want to get a pair. The image itself is quite nice for a 320x240 (i wouldn't change a thing) - They do not cause headaches and you do not loose sight of what is going on around you. I've even gotten so into a movie that I have washed dishes and have completed other chores around the house while wearing the myvu I purchased a pair of the myvu glasses and I wear them every where - mostly when I travel.

Never would wear it in public, and if I ever tried it on in private I would never admit it. For $399?? What were they thinking?? I take issue with it even being a cool concept.
