HMV Eyeglass TV

This company has built a curious apparatus called "the television eyeglass". It weighs less than 100g, and can be easily held in the hand, like a telephone receiver. The sound is perceived by the earphone which is applied against the ear and the 4 cm x 3 cm picture is visible via a 45 degree mirror.
