Egokast video belt buckle

Juniper Foo | Sep 20, 2006

Wearable tech just took another turn. As if it ain't strange enough having your belt buckle make music, now China-based Egokast has a clunky palm-sized video version that serves no higher purpose than to promote navel-gazing--specifically yours. If you have a narcissistic streak, the Egokast is aptly named (it's all about you, baby); though those with beer bellies might want to give this a miss. A plastic shield to protect its scratch-prone display would have been nice. Otherwise, this personal media player bundles a disc chockablock with hundreds of prefabricated video loops for those who can stomach the attention this will draw.
