microoptical and m1 use same kopin display, but i believe the m1 is
sharper and clearer, both owing to better optics, as well as better
drive circuits.

both are of course sub vga resolution, so you may notice that folks don't
use them for continued lenghts of time.  i'd suggest 480x640 as
min. resolution for extended usage.

darkglass display is a different philisophy, e.g. not just augmented reality
but mediated reality (e.g. filter out advertising, etc., as described
this month's issue = march 1999 linux journal).

currently i'm looking for licensees for manufacture of this technology.

i've got two kinds of new tech., the clearglass system (partial mediation)
and the darkglass (full mediation).  the darkglass system is a lot better
(full colour full resolution, and better colour fidelity, better tonal
range, etc.)

i think the darkglass is going to be the way to go (rather than clearglass
which can never, for example, filter out something.  adbusting and
blab off for getting rid of spam from billboards, needs dark).
