"Virtual reality is the Holy Grail of gaming and will soon be the status quo in homes around the world, thanks in large part to the strides we've made in bringing ultra-small, ultra-high-resolution microdisplays to the mass market," said Dr. John C.C. Fan, Kopin's president and CEO. "The availability of our BDM should shorten the time to market and lower the cost for virtual reality systems, allowing them to be affordable and fun for the home. In addition to gaming applications, the BDM-230K is ideal for mobile video eyewear for watching movies and music videos, as well as photography, Web surfing, ultra-compact computing and personal communications."

"I am very pleased we have the first design-in for our BDM," said Alan Richard, Kopin's director of display marketing. "3001 AD has chosen BDM-230K for its high image quality and easy-to-use features. I expect our BDM will have many design-ins going forward for various applications."

This is Kopin's second major foray into virtual reality. Kopin's CyberDisplay(R) microdisplays were instrumental in an unprecedented entertainment experience at the 2005 World Exposition (Expo) called "Nature Contact," an interactive mixed-reality ride that is taking 8,000 visitors per day through the virtual habitats of endangered species in the Hitachi Group's ultra-modern Expo Pavilion.
