07 Oct 08 Nikon Media Port UP: Multimedia Video Headset

Nikon wants to go straight into the avant-garde line with the new video headset called Media Port UP. On top of the unusual characteristic of being a “wearable” device, the headset has a small display that you can use to view videos or other data.

The multimedia Nikon Media Port UP has a hard-drive with 4GB or 8GB depending on the model, and the battery lasts 2 hours when watching a video without interruption, or close to 5 hours when listening to audio content. While using this headset you might look like a cyborg, but that is only a small price to play for what you can achieve with it.

Thanks to motion sensors that replace your hands, the only operation needed to get some kind of action is moving your head in a direction: up, down, left, and right. The Media Port UP includes Wi-Fi, a battery that can be easily recharged, and costs approximately $600. Sadly it is only available in Japan.

A service for UP users that allows for the distribution of video contents will be initiated. Users will be able to easily select desired contents and download media files to their UP for viewing and listening enjoyment.
