BEHIND THE WEARABLES: Tour of Six15 Offices... I guess Tim Moore is the Dan Cui of Six15, a first attempt to raise the largely unknown companies profile, riveting stuff, maybe Dan can do the same and we can get candid shots of eMagin Management consulting their Magic 8 Balls

ViewLink MyVu VizCom Headmounted Android video-streaming system

Try My Hand at Deconstructing Dan Cui's Microsoft/Hololens Tweets

 1.  Posted old photo showing Myvu Media Viewer to Bill Gates
 2. Myvu won an Innovation Award at CES in 2008, Dan and Gates interaction     must have been around that time
 3. Dan "explains", (depicts self as an authority) Video Glasses to Gates... early, early, early in the hype cycle... result, Myvu crashed and burned and reemerged as another Glasses company, View Link, where are THEY now?
4. Dan says the interaction with Gates "was before VR/AR became popular", "before they became popular" means they are popular now, market is ready, eager for the Technology.
5. Jokingly takes credit for Gates' interest, interest resulting in Hololens. Hyperbole = exaggeration for emphasis.
6. Last Tweet, comfortable enough to criticize the Tech Giant's device "he sparked an interest in", mentions, small image, narrow FOV, floats that in public...HAVE to upgrade because demo was misleading as to actual performance of Hololens. Content is ready, Windows 10... why does he mention all this?... eMagin's iHMD would cure observed deficiencies. 
7. Dan Cui hired by eMagin to "bolster Head Mounted Display effort'...he is ever so slowing revealing a small piece of the puzzle. Raising visibility, toe in the water, what he was hired to do. 

Dan was either at Build or he got his own Demo of Hololens... Come to think of it in Criticizing the FOV of Hololens If DC Spent Some Time With Microsoft That Might Have Lead Quite Naturally to "You Need FOV?" "Have I Got FOV...Take a Look at THIS iHMD."

"For That Bleeding Edge Retro Outdated Legacy Look, Feel and Style It's Kopin and Fujitsu.." .Kopin is targeting Asia because the Domestic Market is...?

Cautionary Tale for the Same Yahoo Message Board...Do Not Under any Circumstances Argue with Goats

I see that the eMagin bashers on the appropriately named Yahoo Message Board


"Who, me?"
are in the employ of a certain CEO who is in direct competition with eMagin and pretty pissed about the current state of affairs. Not surprising from such a bunch. Mr. Sneider, Kopin CFO, maintained that the Family of Future Weapons Sight, much in the news of late, would never work because the design required "too many wires." No surprise that their flunkeys exhibit the same level of knowledge and clumsiness of expression.

5 DC-Area Virtual Reality Startups to Watch...More eMagin iHMD Customers-in-Waiting

The DC area and more specifically the University of Maryland is fast becoming a little Silicon Valley. It started when Brendan Iribe, maybe you remember him, one of those at the start of the founding of that thing known as the Oculus Rift. He gave the U of MD $31 Million to do research in Virtual Reality. The building he funded, recently completed, is named after the donor, The Brendan Iribe Center. The guy went to Maryland for one semester and left to work a start-up.  Lucky them, in that short time he developed such a loyalty. The center is more popularly known as the Innovation Lab. Anyway that donation provided the catalyst for the DC Area VR boomlet described in the article. The University is currently negotiating with Sergey Brin to donate to the Center as well. His father taught Math and Physics at Maryland until he retired. Proximity to major Tech companies and the Federal Government also aiding the growth.
Our old pal Yuval Boger and Sensics rate a mention although Sensics has been at it since Iribe was in Pampers.

Wait a minute, CEO Sculley is giving his Display Week HMD talk in San Jose on June 4th, how can he be at 61st and Broadway on the same day?

maybe the new guy will handle the agenda or renting an SR-71?

eMagin Speaks!


Even More Good News: Paul Cronson is crushing in the On-Line Poll.

"But I invented the DPD Graphic!"

The other he found

BAE is finally out of GAO Jail and can now go forward with Future Weapons Sight. "More mature design" = FWS. eMagin will provide the displays for the Line-Item Program.  Can't stand all this good news.

Arena PLM in the Cloud

The Night ema_lurker saved my life "I was just about to jump off the George Washington Bridge..." Jump off the George Washington Bridge?, Who does that?", you jump off the Brooklyn Bridge."

he found some great stuff, first and foremost, eMagin does have a partner for manufacturing the iHMD, Arena PLM. The iHMD is not a Derby Entrant but it's not a Unicorn either. Great news. Arena has a pretty impressive customer list. We'll all be riding pastel Unicorns, I would rather be riding American Pharaoh or Mubtahij.
