Any details/pointers? > DPL > [MODERATOR'S NOTE: I have heard this rumor. -- Bob Jacobson] A Japanese newspaper Asahi-Shinbun has reported on the press release about the device on May 21. Olympus Optics has developped a pilot product of HMD that will be used in home electronics, TV-game, and medical applications. Its sales point is the light weight of 360 gram, and (maybe) see-through type display. On the latter point, the report is very ambiguous. The report does not concern about any other technically significant features. It suggests also Olympus has a will to develop (a) market product(s) under cooperation with several application field companies. -- Satoshi Fushimi Information & Mathematical Science Lab. Inc.
