''Big Screen'' Video for Cell Phone Users

France Telecom's wireless unit, Orange SA, will soon roll out a mobile video service that will allow subscribers to view TV, movies, photos and broadband Internet content with a big screen viewing effect using a video eyewear.

MicroOptical's video eyewear allows users to privately view large-size images equivalent to a 12-inch screen as seen from three feet away, yet simultaneously view their surroundings thanks to the small size of the frame.

The eyewear is connected to a cell phone through a cable, and allows up to five hours of video with three AAA batteries. It can be plugged into other devices with composite video outputs such as portable DVD players.
