The unit operates from a built in rechargeable battery integrated into the remote control pendant. They claim a runtime of about 4 hours out of a fully charged battery and certainly charging it every night made it last through the day for me. Charging is via USB.
MyVu claim that the lightweight design leaves you aware of your surroundings. And they’re right, sort of. When you’re wearing them you only have to glance down to see what’s going on around you. Handy for catching the drinks trolly on the plane, but walking around the street will take practice. I don’t recommend it…
