Personal Movie Theater

by Heather McLaughlin

Have you ever wanted to watch a movie without disturbing others? Well, now you can do exactly that with the Personal Movie theater. This portable media viewer is compatible with video iPods, game console, DVD player, media player, or televisions.

You’ll look like a spaceman wired for entertainment.

Developed from U.S. military technology, the viewer generates 24-bit true color (16 million colors) and provides a 23 field of view for wide pictures with 3/4″ eye-relief (so you can wear your eyeglasses if needed). The LCDs provide 320 x 240 resolution, and may be focused individually from +2 to -5 diopters and tilted up to 15 for a custom fit; a soft, hypoallergenic adj ustable nosepiece and an optional head strap ensure comfortable viewing. Its rechargeable battery provides up to five hours of continuous operation and requires a four hour recharge. Includes AC adapter, A/V cable, iPod cable, head strap, and carrying case.

This unique gift idea costs $249.95 and is available at Hammacher
