(Source: Business Wire)trackingKopin® Corporation (Nasdaq: KOPN), the leader in microdisplays for consumer and military applications, is demonstrating its Golden-iTM Gen 2 concept units at Microsoft's booth # 400 at the Embedded Systems Conference in Boston on September 22 & 23, 2009.

A three-ounce Bluetooth headset, Golden-i delivers an entirely new category of mobile communication and computing capability. If you're enjoying your Smartphone, imagine it feeding information to Golden-i's 15-inch virtual PC display and a hands-free natural speech recognition interface controlling every phone feature and capability -- while your phone remains in your pocket or briefcase.

How much would enterprise performance improve with multi-lingual wireless speech-driven control over all company systems, including handheld devices, PCs, networks, factory equipment and Cloud environments? With a convenient near-eye, 15-inch virtual display on-demand, Golden-i provides hands-free spontaneous access to digital information, broadcast programming and Internet services including real-time, full-color D-1 high resolution (720 x 480p x 30 fps) streaming video over industry standard Bluetooth 2.0.

Golden-i is truly more than the sum of its parts. It is a unique convergence of the most advanced design with the latest components, software and materials:

Microsoft's Windows® Embedded CE 6.0 R2 operating system.

Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) OMAP3530 processor featuring an ARM® Cortex-A8, high performance DSP and a graphics accelerator.

Nuance Communications VoCon3200 speech recognition and Vocalizer text-to-speech software platforms, modified specifically for Golden-i's hands-free operation.

Micron Semiconductor's ultra fast, low-power, multi-bit node DDR2 RAM / NAND FLASH Package-on-Package (POP) OMAP mobile memories and MicroSD cards.

Hillcrest Labs FreeSpaceTM 6-axis, solid state, head tracking and body gesture sensor.

Aurisound multi-phase / Adaptive Focus-BeamTM (AFB) ambient noise cancellation that allows Golden-i users to speak naturally, even in noisy environments. AFB removes ambient noise from cellular, Bluetooth and WiFi audio communications.

Kopin's latest .44-inch diagonal, SVGA resolution (800 x 600 x 3), full color LCD microdisplay, interface IC and natural sight, user adjustable optics.

"Built on Microsoft's Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R2 operating system, Golden-i is capable of remotely waking Windows PCs from a hibernating state," said John C. C. Fan, Kopin President and Chief Executive Officer. "After Golden-i establishes a Bluetooth, WiFi or cellular link through a host device, users see their PC desktop screen on a 15-inch virtual display, offering hands-free access to PC applications, data files and services. When work is done, the PC may be placed in hibernation with a single spoken command."

Golden-i users no longer must carry their laptops to have a familiar PC experience. Golden-i provides spontaneous remote access to their PCs in nearly every mobile situation.

"Microsoft is proud to continue working with Kopin and other partners throughout our ecosystem to continue driving dramatic shifts in mobile computing and communications," said David Wurster, Senior Product Manager for Windows Embedded at Microsoft.
