Re: 2160×1200 Everyone is fine with that?

Either the 1440p CV Vive that Carmack may have let slip (but nobody noticed), or a LightHouse powered third party HMD built by eMagin, VR Union (the makers of RiftUP/Claire), companies with experience in the pro sim market and a desire to enter the VR gaming market, LG, Sharp, Carl Zeiss, Sony, Samsung, Nvidia, AMD, Asus, Dell, BenQ, Viewsonic, Falcon, Alienware... will probably be out. Throw in Google, Apple and MS with their own tracking solutions...
In other words, no one is coming out with a higher rez display that you know of.
eMagin has a 2K per eye HMD in the works. VR Union has a few Claire 12Ms at 3840 x 1080 out there now, and Claire 22M at 5120 x 1440 is in the works. Although a resolution increase has not been confirmed, Vive CV1 is supposed to be better than the developer edition "in every way". Even Sony Morpheus's 1920x1080xFull RGB OLED and 120Hz has higher sub-pixel resolution if CV1 is still pentile. GearVR offers higher resolution than this and Note 5 might even increase that resolution. And E3 is right around the corner for more.
I just said "I hope at least one company with experience in the HMD business or display panel manufacture will create a LightHouse powered higher resolution HMD" right before that sentence stating that I don't want to have to choose between higher resolution and Oculus VR made content... You might have missed it. They can still deliver a great input solution and justify that choice but if the input solution is disappointing, it will be hard to defend Oculus VR's actions, at least for me.
When costs come down on VR training, we'll see use increase dramatically.

Happy to help out Himax Investors (AITT USMC for JTAC-See Above)
In response to this need, the Office of Naval Research’s (ONR) Augmented Immersive Team Training (AITT) program has expressed their desire to use advanced augmented reality head mounted display (HMD) systems to help train USMC FiSTs. For this purpose, SA Photonics is working with ONR to develop the Low-Cost Augmented Reality System (LARS), a low-cost, wide field of view augmented reality HMD in the form factor of sand and dust goggles LARS will enable the training of USMC FiSTs without using live fire, as LARS uses Augmented Reality (AR) to simulate lifelike target and live fire displays. The result is more effective training of more FiSTs at lower cost.

Some Anecdotal Evidence That The "Household Name" Company is Google
"I see you" |
Attended as an observer eMagin's Analyst Day in NYC a few years back. One of the slides mentioned Google Glass as did the accompanying Prospectus that was provided. Google Glass mentioned prominently in the Presentation by AS.
Following Fall attended the Association of the US Army. Spoke generally to an eMagin employee about Google Glass. I should say that beforehand I told him I was a shareholder. He recited the "in person" version of the Safe Harbor Statement. I asked him his opinion of Google Glass. He made glasses from his hands, you know, how kids do, held them up to his eyes and said "Google is not happy with the resolution." The discussion ended with that.
Jerry Carollo, for some time listed his employment history at his Linkedin Profile as concurrently working for eMagin and Google. As of a few days ago, it changed, now he lists Google as his sole employer, occupation, Optical Architect. Jerry Carollo since his early Pre-Intevac days has only designed HMDs using eMagin OLED displays.
Google is the only "Household Named" company that is prominently involved in designing both Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality HMDs. A partnership with eMagin would solve the optical needs of both devices in development.
Was not sure how serious Google was about Virtual Reality until this week when reports emerged that Google was planning a "Family of headworn devices" and additionally the public statement that Google's VR HMD would "not always be cardboard." Finally AS mentioned, in the recent Conference Call, Google's investment in Himax as an exemplar of what a partnership would look like for eMagin.
Circumstantial, I know, but sometimes that is enough to convict.

Margaret Kohin, SVP of Business Development at eMagin, will discuss how the company is bridging the gap between avionics defense and consumer products for head-mounted displays. Five themed sessions will follow, providing the audience a deeper understanding of the opportunities and challenges associated with wearable and flexible applications.

Kopin Hires LCD Expert Hideki Matsukawa From Panasonic Liquid Crystal Display Company...Follow the Leader Started in March
"We will call it, the Golden I-mmersive" |
when Kopin hired Bill Mafucci as VP of Biz Development focusing on the Military. Mr. Mafucci was a colleague of Jerry Carollo at Intevac when Intevac was designing and building State-of-the-Art Digital Night Vision HMDs, I-Port, Night-Port etc. The world became aware in November that eMagin and Jerry Carollo were far along in the development of their Immersive Head Mounted Display and it's easy to imagine Dr. Fan, I'll say scramble, to find someone who had an idea how JC accomplished his radical, new microdisplay enabled device.
Now what do we need? Ah, prism and optics. Let's hire Mr. Iba, also hired this past March to help us design systems for wearable VR (first time Kopin EVER mentioned VR) and AR.
What's left for Dr. Fan after getting a heads up, pun intended, on what was coming from eMagin in terms of displays and optics? Enter Mr. Matsukawa who was hired to help design the next generation of LCD Transmissive displays. There it is, Kopin's hiring Blitzkrieg aimed at getting a design, prototype, whatever they can to start tossing around "VR Headset", "VR Wearable" etc. the kind of buzzwords Fan always uses to garner attention and buy time. Does anybody remember who finished second to American Pharaoh in the Derby?

They were never a very significant customer but the tech was compelling...Breaking: TrackingPoint announces financial troubles, ceases orders
The "Can't Miss" Company Missed |
they never really overcame the barriers to entry they encountered. Sold as a "can't miss" rifle when the real attraction of hunting is time in the woods, stalking, pretending like you can read signs, the climactic shot, the whole atavism thing. Driving up to a blind in South Africa and being guaranteed a hit on a Cape Buffalo a thousand yards away is not exactly Ernest Hemingway material. Not to mention the backlash against trophy hunting that's growing all the time. That ditzy Texas blonde who flashed Instagrams of her jubilant over the carcass of a giraffe she shot while it was peacefully grazing did as much as anything to deglamorize the "Safari Experience" and make her the face of vanity trophy hunting.
Sold as a method of herd protection from coyote attack for ranchers and farmers there are much cheaper and more effective way of preventing attacks, llamas believe it or not. They can kick the shit out of coyotes and have a guarding instinct.
Much bigger reason more, when the Program Exec decided after testing TP PGF at Quantico that DARPA was well on it's way to a military solution (FWS) for Rapid Target Acquisition and Accuracy the jig was up, thanks TP, don't call us, we'll call you.
They used eMagin displays solely in their guns at the outset but were gradually migrating to Kopin displays to cut costs, now, as Hawk Harrelson would say "he gone."

Douglas Lanman (NVidia) - Light Field Displays at AWE2014... Lanman is at Oculus Now, His Job to Shrink That Form Factor of the "Shoebox on your head", What He Brings is What He Explains Here, Lightfield Displays
I can see eMagin having to push to build them a prototype because Oculus/Facebook invested a lot of money to hire stars like Lanman and Jepsen, they have to contribute to the process but it makes perfect sense that in light of what you see in this video that Oculus is one of the companies that fit Sculley's description "If they don't buy the iHMD they still need the displays."

To Me The Way Sculley Lays Out This Scenario...
the demo prompted an interesting discussion in which many employees of the company took an interest
looking at smaller display and different optics
modification? prototype "we (eMagin speaking) pushing for ASAP
_________________________________________________________________
what company fits that description where current design screams for a re-design, mod, new optics
They brought in, I don't know how many people to take a look at the thing, and one of them was arguing for making me look at a different set of optics and a smaller display. So I think the answer to your question is it could go either way. It may be that our headset is all the company needs for a modification of it or it could be that they want a prototype first. As you might expect, we are pushing for as soon as possible. We'd like to do the prototype.
