[Myvu to demo latest video display glasses connected to a Nokia N95 handset creating a wide-screen viewing experience at the upcoming Nokia Trends Lab event.]

London, UK -- Myvu Corporation will showcase its Crystal premium range of video eyewear at the Nokia Trends Lab -- a series of cutting-edge live events taking place across Europe this spring that combine mobile phone technology with creative and experimental art.

Myvu will host a Myvu Film Lab at the Nokia Trends Lab event in Brussels on 9 May and Amsterdam on 29 May. Film-makers can join by uploading their own film on the Nokia Trends Lab website.

The best films will be selected for viewing at the event in the Myvu incubators. Visitors will watch the films through a pair of Myvu Crystal video display glasses connected to a Nokia N95 8GB handset, giving them a wide-screen viewing experience with enhanced picture and audio quality.

Built with SolidOptex, the Myvu patented optical system, Crystal transforms mobile devices into hands-free, full-screen mobile video players, offering the thinnest, lightest and most durable video eyewear available. Built for durability and style, Myvu Crystal features a 35 percent increase in the field-of-view over previous Myvu models, providing the truest DVD quality experience possible.

Myvu president and CEO Kip Kokinakis said: "Mobile entertainment has come of age, and music and arts fans on the go can now watch video hands-free with the most advanced picture resolution and sound. We're excited to be a part of the 2008 Nokia Trends Lab, which takes the mobile video experience to a new dimension."

Emile Baak, General Manager Nokia Benelux added: "The Myvu Film Lab is one of the new labs to be featured at Nokia Trends Lab. As a worldwide leader in designing and manufacturing innovative video eyewear for mobile entertainment, Myvu products reflect Nokia's desire and commitment to be at the forefront of emerging technologies and lifestyles."

The Myvu Film Lab takes place at Nokia Trends Lab alongside photography, music and design labs, plus a number of bands and artistic performers led by the acclaimed artist/producer/remixer DJ Shadow, who will offer his unique experience and insights from over fifteen years in the music industry to produce a series of collaborative 'experiments'.
