Random Notes eMagin CC

Someone Please send Paul Campbell a case of 5 Hour Energy
No Forktrucks this time but "Warehouse" mention, glasses for picking presumably, let's see it
Olivier Prache's trip to Lake Placid with Google Glass battery drained in two hours
we found out the eMagin Z800 was "ahead of it's time" ok so now were caught up?
Michael Schwandt "consultant" to eMagin was one of the participants in the focus group that eMagin undertook in cooperation with a "Mystery" Company, Sculley, "I can't mention who". Mr. Scwandt was an undergrad at Bellevue College, let's see Bellevue, Bellevue, anybody think of a gaming company in that part of the world?
Oculus Rift was obviously Company #1, Wide FOV, bad resolution, screen door effect, BIG, has to be Oculus. I'll guess that the one that had both bad res and bad FOV was the Zeiss Cinemizer as Mr. Energy Drink keeps one on his desk. #3, no idea maybe a Sony HMZ T2
The HMD is going to look a lot more like this eMagin/TATRC Prototype fro Army Telemedicine

then this piece of grunt


what was new this time was Sculley floating the possibilities that other companies are interested in the displays themselves for their own HMDs apart from the housing electronics etc
what was with that random Margaret Kohin mention, well and good but wouldn't a nod to the person she was replacing make sense? Like he didn't want to mention Jerry Carollo, it sort of hung in the air, operating under the presumption that JCs Linkedin profile is accurate and he is working jointly for eMagin and Google, don't believe any of that political bullshit the other board is floating about "bad blood" between them, nonsense
they are aware that of the problems with the dive mask displays and there is no rush as adoption is slow, even Steam's entry is a dive mask with some holes on the side for ventilation, don't think that's the final product from them
Microdisplays will be the winners for these VR Headsets
Fraunhofer has apparently given up on direct patterning, they seem to be concentrating on OLED lighting

Broad based demos of the iHMD are weeks away with some tweaking of color gamut and head-tracking that is conformable to games developed for the infamous piece of shit like Die in a Plane Crash and Virtual Guillotine, just kidding
Based on ema_lurker research I think the most notable companies they will be demoing the hmd for are Google, Oculus, Qualcomm, Microsoft, Apple, Valve (companies we have heard of)
