I'll see what I can dig up. At best I have some articles in Popular Science type magazines. Anyone with better info is invited to post. I recall that at this point they're selling samples only, at a fairly high price ($700?). And they are in black & red monochrome only - they use a bar of LEDs mechanically scanned at the frame rate. Once in volume production they should be quite cheap. The resolution is not very good. The optics make the image appear to be at infinity or some reasonable distance, so if the wearer is walking around there shouldn't be a focus problem. -- Gord Deinstadt gdeinstadt@geovision.gvc.com
