Since there is nothing else to obsess about except the hiring of the new "Face of the Franchise" Disclaimer: Rampant Speculation,( Even the Oracle at Delphi Had to Find a Way to make Chicken Entrails Interesting)

 a couple of allusions in the PR stick with me. The first was pointing out the FOTF's success in raising the Market Visibility of Vuzix. No small task, they are even, if possible, a less sexy Upstate New York story than eMagin's.  So he rode the beginnings of AR mania into a significant investment from a whale. He is obviously a very good salesman. THIS> THIS> THIS is eMagin's biggest need apart from the ongoing manufacturing issues. In fact if Comrade Cui can raise the visibility enough while selling the concept that AMOLED Microdisplays are the future of AR and VR that concern could be made obsolete by an acquisition.  To me in the last CC the Joy Boys were just not that interested in the far future. At the previous CC they joked about setting up multiple manufacturing lines but chortled "it won't be us."
 Why in the PR mention LCD and LCOS as the competition for placement in VR HMDs? I know of no such devices for Virtual Reality anywhere. Kopin rushed out and hired Mr. Iba when they caught wind of what eMagin was up too. They are from outward appearances just beginning the process. So why no mention of Oculus and large display Dive Mask HMDs? That was what the Bellevue College Focus Group was all about wasn't it? Nobody is thinking about Microdisplays at present save a very few. It's just the "Dog that didn't bark in the night" thingy. Maybe they just forgot. Or maybe they know those devices are obsolete as well.
