Microvision Delivers Helmet-Mounted Display to Boeing

BOTHELL, Wash., Dec. 27 -- Microvision Inc. has delivered a prototype helmet-mounted display system to The Boeing Co.'s Phantom Works facility in Seattle. The prototype will be evaluated, along with other emerging technologies, for potential use in military aircraft, simulation systems and other Boeing systems.

The helmet features full stereoscopic optics and electronics and resolution of more than 1 million full-color pixels, and is designed for use with Boeing's software. This software integrates real-time flight reference and sensor data with planned mission parameters to provide the pilot with a valuable tool to increase both combat effectiveness and flight safety.
