This is interesting. Kopin says that they have the display that "improves" response time implying that Kopin possesses the tech that provides a solution to Vergence Accommodation. This is the Hill that IVAS and Kopin will die on. They say in other places that the display will able to "lessen" the effects of the mismatching of Visual Cues which invariably result in headache and nausea. Think of watching a small Picture-in-a-Picture with one eye while trying to watch the larger image with the other. The giveaway is the "to me" in the paragraph below. He doesn't know. "To me" is a snow job. "Improvements to be made" is another way of saying there will be less nausea and less headaches. Unless the device is plug and play for any soldier with zero ill effects it will never fly. What you're seeing with IVAS is Luckey selling and now Murray selling hard a concept which would require years and many millions of dollars to get through the initial Testing and Evaluation. Not a pretty picture in the Age of DOGE. Remember when we were kids and and you first pushed a pencil towards the bridge of your nose and the queasiness that resulted. That's your brain trying to cope with the mismatching visual cues. Now imagine that feeling doesn't go away but intensifies in a life or death situation.

Michael Murray, CEO of Massachusetts-based microdisplay manufacturer Kopin — which has expressed interest in competing for IVAS Next — said the current version of IVAS “has a type of optic in it and a waveguide in it that, to me, doesn’t suit the warfighter. And I think there are improvements that can be made in its response time to stimuli.”
