The first key to that change will be an upgrade in display technology. AR screens will evolve from small “glanceable” displays to ones capable of overlaying information on your entire field of view, while new apps will allow that content to interact seamlessly with the real world. That way you’ll be able to focus on the AR image and where you’re going simultaneously.

Penny: Sculley's Swedish Linkedin Connection
I'm seeing a pattern here with eMagin. There first foray's into A/R are serious undertakings. The military of course, eSight, assisting the seeing challenged and here Penny. Their creator Mr. Lundstrom was inspred by time spent in the hospital and befriending a 17 year old girl shackled by quadriplegia.
The Story of Penny - Erik Lundström from Swedish Institute on Vimeo.
Very Interesting eMagin CEO Andrew Sculley's Linkedin Connections (thanks again to lurker)
Scott Bulua IP Counsel at Facebook. Is Facebook/Oculus trying to get out from under Oculus Rift's doomed design? Sculley mentioned that he felt all future VR HMDs would use microdisplays instead of large panel displays. Facebook must have figured out by now that Carmack and Associates are no closer to a solution for simulator sickness then Palmer Luckey was when he taped a cell phone display to his head in his parents basement, got dizzy and barfed up Mom's Home cookin'. eMagin licensing the optics and displays to Facebook would be a real game changer and would enable Facebook to pull their $2 Billion worth of Virtual fat from the Oculus fire. Speculation but certainly possible.

The problem is, use the thing for any longer than ten or 20 minutes and you start to feel like you might die. Turns out having a block of plastic lashed tightly to your skull isn't that comfortable. You start to feel hot, sweaty, and claustrophobic, and the foam cushion around your eyes becomes stifling. Sometimes you feel like you're going to hurl. The Rift's health and safety documentation describes this as "VR exposure", which is yet more proof that we are living in a harrowing cyberpunk dystopia.

Harris & Exelis to Merge
should have no material effect on their Defense Business. Will strengthen both during Sequestration and continued threat thereof. Makes sense that they would look not to compete now in the same space. Better to cohere Harris' strengths in Communications and from eMagin's POV integrate Exelis Electro-Optics into Harris' Battlefield Network. A great fit for ENVG and i-Aware, Individual Soldier System Etc.

Special Operations Develops ‘Iron Man’ Suit
This surprises me. Whats up SOCOM?
http://www.defense.gov/news/newsarticle.aspx?id=128059
Suit Sensor Challenges
Another challenge is with the suit’s sensors, officials said. One problem deals with latency -- the time between when a sensor detects something and when it is transmitted to the brain. Night-vision goggles are immediate -- there is zero-difference from when the sensor picks it up and it hits the eye.
“When I move my head, the picture is with me all the time,” the engineer said. “The problem with current visual solutions right now is when I move my head, it lags and takes a second to catch up.”
Today, even the best prototype sensor solution still creates nausea after being under it for 30 minutes.
The task force never forgets they are developing this suit for real people, for comrades in arms, and they have constant interaction with operators, officials said. “The last thing you want to do is build a suit that nobody wants to get inside,” said one task force member.
