Spatial -- Media Attention -- FDA Approval

Augmented reality is going to do great things.

So far, MVIS has the best near eye display I've seen. (I may have a chance to try Magic Leap today, it's the only one I haven't tried yet.) Nothing out there is as good as what I tried with Microvision.

The business & medical & technical applications for it are going to be fantastic.

And, as you can see by where reports are coming from, they're on the edge of being on mainstream media.
FDA approval for medical applications is pretty nice as well.

The market in general is in turmoil (I expect that turmoil to last until November 6) MVIS is a small boat in a large turbulent ocean, and we'll feel the effects of that.

After listening to the CC today, I expect that we will soon be hearing a number of announcements.
