Chaz and all, Thanks for your interest and support!!! MVIS has in fact received substantial interest from US DoD program offices. VRD technology is in great demand directly from the defense community who see it as uniquely offering the potential to achieve a challenging mix of performance requirements. HMDs for cockpit systems must be high resolution in order to allow sensor imagery (such as infrared images) to be combined with targeting or flight-reference symbology. The display must also be extremely bright in order to successfully compete with high ambient light conditions during daylight operations. The helmet must be as light and balanced as possible in order to be worn comfortably and safely by the pilot. Full color imagery would provide richer images that can be more easily interpreted by pilots who are suffering from massive information overload. The system must also be environmentally robust. This combination of characteristics has so far been unavailable with systems that use miniature CRTs or any of the available flat panel technologies. Hence the keen interest from both defense contractors and their DoD customers. Check out these two press releases from earlier in the year. This should give you a flavor for the demand direct from the Armed services. If you go to our web site you will also see news of the SBIR work that we are conducting on behalf of the US Air Force. Microvision also led a workshop on VRD technology in January at the invitation of the UK's Defense Research Agency. mvis.com mvis.com Remember the human visual system is the highest bandwidth information port to the brain! This is why we deal with information best when it is in a graphical or visual form. Most high information applications are moving away from alpha-numerics toward more and more graphical representations of mission-critical information. Desktop computing is becoming more and more visual as well. The pilot vehicle interface is a great metaphor for any information intensive environment. As such, what we see today in cockpits, we'll see tomorrow in operating rooms and then on desktops. After all the whole world is becoming more information intensive every day isn't it?? Warm regards to all. Rick
