Kopin® 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.
