Bob, I know you're an MVIS fan. How do you think successful commercialization of VRD will affect the future of the FPD market? I guess that's still pretty far away but if Boeing's got one, how long will it be before Sega puts their John Henry on a licensing agreement? And then...? Microvision Delivers Helmet-Mounted Display to Boeing First Display System to Incorporate Full-Color Virtual Retinal Display SEATTLE, Aug. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Microvision, Inc. (Nasdaq:MVIS) today announced that it has successfully delivered to The Boeing Company (NYSE:BA) a helmet-mounted technology demonstration system incorporating Microvision's Virtual Retinal Display(TM) (VRD(TM)). The delivery was made on schedule to Boeing Information, Space and Defense Systems, which will use the system to demonstrate new kinds of human interfaces for advanced aircrew systems. The helmet-mounted display is the first full-color VRD system to be delivered by Microvision to any customer. Doug Swanson, Chief Engineer for Crew Systems Technology at Boeing Information, Space and Defense Systems, said ``We're pleased to be Microvision's first customer to take delivery of a full-color VRD system. We believe the technology offers enormous potential for improving the man-machine interface in our most advanced aircrew systems as well as other applications. Our interest in the continued development of the VRD is consistent with Boeing's commitment to maintain technical leadership in defense and aerospace systems.

We're enthusiastic about Boeing's commitment to rapidly advancing the state of the art in cockpit systems technology by employing new visualization technology such as the VRD.
