Light-scanning technology developer Microvision of Bothell, WA, has won an additional $1.6 million from the U.S. Army to fund continued development of a mobile personal display system for medical applications. The funding is part of the Army’s effort to develop a mobile medical system that enables military surgical personnel and medics to access and transmit data using a head-mounted display, wearable computer, and wireless network.
Under the contract, Microvision will design, integrate, and test a head-mounted Augmented Vision System based on its scanned-beam display technology. Microvision has already received $4.4 million in Army funding for the project; the first prototype demonstration units are expected to be delivered by the end of the year.
