we should a real kindredship with Valve people as they too live in a closed and dark fortress
Yeah, wrong word I used there, but point remains. I hope to see more inside info from people going forward (apart from obvious NDA things), cause now it feels like Valve is a closed and dark fortress.

I was going to cheekily respond “I also second Valve’s new headset & Knuckles” but now I’m wondering WTF y’all have seen because I’m not under as many NDA’s as I’d like :P

On the cusp of a New Year we await for the resolution of our Chicken-Egg Dilemma...
Saturday, December 29, 2018
The choosing up sides continues, Trumps is threatening to bar Huawei and ZTE from participating in US 5G rollout because of national security concerns. Kopin's panel with the President of China (HTC) should be interesting. Kopin is in the "Grey Zone" China seeks to dominate. They had to buy NVIS to sell the Pentagon anything. They clearly have been identified as not a trusted partner. Can anybody identify any Chinese Telecom that's not a wholly owned subsidiary of the PLA? See if Doc Fan brings up any of these issues.

PEO Soldier holds successful Soldier Touchpoint on the Enhanced Night Vision Goggle--Binocular (Capt Josh was nervous as to the outcome of these tests in October but he seems to be over it, the ENVG-B is heavier than previous, the mount needs tweaking and the compass was off 4 degrees)
And the result. ENVG-B is the the Overmatch. Futures Command is up and running in the ATX and it is a priority as they are hiring like crazy. (eMagin inside the ENVG-B)
The new device has both night vision and thermal-sensing capabilities and stereoscopic binocular depth perception, providing Soldiers with an illusion of depth on a flat image.
During testing, Soldiers had a 100 percent improvement in weapons qualifications, along with a 300 percent increase in detection of targets in day and night environments, and a 30 to 50 percent decrease in the time taken to shoot a target.
Soldiers that tested the new ENVG-B considered it to be "a game changer."

It's common now to present Microled as the immediate succesor to LCOS and LCD for AR Applications. Display Daily recently managed to compose an entire article that managed to completely ignore OLED as a viable replacement for the legacy display systems. Like lurker said "It's a curse." More likely ignorance and the desire to be hailed as first to this great discovery. (might add, leading OLED display company is allergic to scrutiny and publicity).

I'm a little slow. Did not realize the significance of Flex/Lumus/Snapdragon until I saw Scoble fawning interview with Mr. Lumus and this quote by eMagin's recent appointee to their board in this Flex Blog Post. Eugene it's like finding a parts list!
CES attendees clearly understood the value of a turnkey solution and started inquiring about engineering samples. AR is not only a disruptive platform for many industrial uses, it also is a way to gather critical information and insights from the Intelligence of Things®. “Innovative companies want AR because it offers the richest data,” Braddom says, “an amazing enriched data set about how people do their work, what works well and what can be improved - this will lead to a new generation of insights and services that can change how we work.”

So little companies jockeying for position. Kopin's big buddies, Lenovo, China, Realware, Canada, Google (if GG is real and Kopin) they have no loyalties. Just NVIS on the military side, who knows about the future of their Armor Trainer. In time Elbit owns that anyway. eMagin is way ahead with a sure customer base in US, Europe, India so heightening tensions between rivals accrues to their benefit.
(Thank you Eugene for translating my ramblings into English)
Wonder if "5 Rules for 5G" will tackle any of these issues e.g. It seems we are in the process of choosing up sides. How does any small Tech company with interests in both straddle these competing interests. Tough one. Is that why Jill was so worried about this heightening tension after Trump's election?
I was so wrong I'm sorry Derrick. Kopin has a presence at CES "Behind the Scenes". Wonder if it'll be as exciting as last years All-Star Panel. (Quick we have to think of a "happening" topic"). This year " 5 Rules for 5G"

They are not going anywhere. They are part of the critical infrastructure. Now there's no alternative to what they produce. With Wire Bond it was Kopin's last hurrah getting the Raytheon Contract. They have designed other displays out of the programs. US producer and US Foundry. As far as the eye can see. That said. If they can't produce them, tiny little company then sell it to somebody who can.
I'm in.
It took more than a few days to report the wire bond issue. But they did and it was rectified after a time. In that debacle they lost Raytheon as a Prime for TWS.

Do they speak to empty rooms at these cattle calls they go to? IT MAKES NO SENSE. Other than nobody believes em or more strangely don't care about this huge market.
