TrackingPoint shows off the “Mile Maker,” a smart rifle with 1,800-yard range



Guessing they use an eMagin display as they only use Kopin LCDs in their Armalite Platforms, shoots a long way, if you had gotten within a mile of Che Guevara back there in Cuba you might have saved thousands of political prisoners from the Firing Squad. It's fun playing hypotheticals.

Palmer Luckey Interview @ CES 2015 - Discusses Crescent Bay and Future o...Yes VR needs 4k



And the Oracle says Oculus can't piggyback off advances in Cell Phone Displays, no reason for Cell Phone companies to develop displays with higher resolutions. In that case Mr. Luckey there is only one other way to go, microdisplays. BTW Luckey sounds defeated.

Palmer Luckey is the Joe Biden of VR :Oculus VR founder on the key to virtual reality's success: 'People are narcissists'

How to design the fighter cockpit of tomorrow


The most modern jets – such as the RAF’s Eurofighter Typhoon and the Lockheed F-35 Joint Strike Fighter that is yet to enter service – feature helmet-mounted displays, voice-activated controls and airliner-style control sticks. This is a big change from the cockpits cluttered with dials and buttons that fighter pilots flew in a few decades ago

We should know a lot more about eMagin's iHMD by then.  The commitment to Virtual Reality is so wide and deep it can't fail, uh, yes it can if Simulator Sickness is not eliminated. Mostly convinced eMagin has solved many technical problems with Sim Sickness i.e.latency, resolution, size, weight, smearing, screen door, not sure sensory mismatch will ever be overcome. Not sure postural instability and sensory deprivation, visual, auditory, tactile can be either. Like the guy said it will be "world changing" or it will be the biggest bust in the history of technology.

Virtual Vietnam PTSD Exposure Therapy Prototype



There were 69,000 Iraq and Afghan Vets Treated for PTSD in the US last year. Remarkably there were 62,000 Vietnam Vets treated as well. 40 Years later these guys still struggle with their Service experience and the Mental scars it left. So Rizzo came up with Virtual Vietnam succeeding Virtual Iraq and Virtual Afghanistan.

Virtual and augmented reality look to sharpen the picture at CES


Not everyone is so excited by VR’s near-term prospects. Fred Wilson, a prominent venture capitalist and an early investor in Twitter and Tumblr, predicted in a blog post on Thursday that VR “will hit some headwinds” as Oculus and its rivals “underwhelm”.

And if that doesn't work maybe Methedrine #Oculusisagatewaydrug

Uh, how about their helmets are well designed?

Interview with a Madman :Oculus VR CTO John Carmack: The extended Q&A : What a pile of horseshit, none of this stuff he's talking about is true.

Nobody got it right until Oculus? This guy is a loon. And Mobile VR with anything resembling an Oculus design will never happen. The Tech Blogosphere is a fever swamp of ignorance. Not a mention of the "Elephant in the Room."
