Jan, Here's the full link to the article. I found it while perusing the link you listed. seattletimes.com I've been silently watching this board for a long time, and have owned MVIS since the stock price was under $5. I think this company has great potential, and I hope to be celebrating with all of you as soon as Microvision proves its technology. I'm going to be in Seattle at the end of May, and hope to get a chance to stop by Microvision. Grant

Friday February 20, 8:00 am Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: Microvision, Inc. Microvision Awarded Research Contract from Department of Defense Company to Develop High Definition Display for Helicopter Flight Simulators SEATTLE, Feb. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Microvision, Inc. (Nasdaq: MVIS; MVISW), developer of the Virtual Retinal Display(TM) (VRD(TM)), today announced that it has been awarded a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract from the United States Army to initiate the development of a full-color, high-definition, head-mounted display (HMD) to present visual imagery to helicopter pilots in an operational flight simulator. The Phase I contract seeks to demonstrate the feasibility of presenting various types of visual imagery and symbology to helicopter pilots through a lightweight, full-color, high-definition HMD. The contract seeks further to develop innovative display technology that may also serve a range of diverse applications in other areas of the military and commercial sectors including telemaintenance, telemedicine, and applications in various types of head and helmet-mounted display systems. Microvision will study and develop such a display system for the Army using the company's core VRD technology. The research contract will be monitored by Dr. Joe DeMaio of the Aeroflight Dynamics Directorate, NASA Ames Research Center, Moffet Field, California. The principal investigator during this study is Ned Nestorovic, Microvision Senior Optical Design Engineer. Steve Willey, Executive Vice President for Microvision, said, ''This contract will allow Microvision to demonstrate how VRD technology can meet the challenges facing flight simulation in today's rotary-wing environment. The VRD offers significant advantages over existing display technologies, and during this contract Microvision will highlight and discuss the advantages of the VRD as an innovative simulation display technology that can increase the pilot's situational awareness, reduce workload, shorten response time to critical information, and reduce flight risks.'' About the Company Microvision, based in Seattle, Washington, is developing and commercializing its VRD technology, which allows electronically generated images and information to be projected onto the retina of the viewer's eye. The VRD scans a low power beam of light to paint rows of pixels onto the eye, creating a high resolution, full-motion image without the use of electronic screens of any kind. The company's objective is to be a leading provider of personal display products and imaging technology in a broad range of military, professional and consumer applications.
