Kopin gets deal to develop daytime readable see-through HUD module

Kopin Corporation announced that it has secured a contract to further develop its daytime-readable, augmented reality HUD Head-Up Display technology in support of warfighters. The goal of this next-generation HUD is to offer enhanced resolution, better daytime readability and a greater see-through field of view-and require less power. “Warfighters want to keep their eyes on the horizon to detect and address threats, instead of looking down at a device,” said Bill Maffucci, Sr. VP Business Development and Strategy. “Our technology provides a wide range of augmented geospatial information in a heads-up format, reducing the loss of situational awareness. In addition, the new HUD module aims to meet the growing demand for an advanced display solution that is easily readable in daytime lighting.” Kopin has been developing daytime-readable, see-through HUDs and demonstrating early prototypes. The new contract award is for the development of a next-generation HUD with advanced specifications for a specific targeted application. Key features and capabilities include:
