About Nomad Personal Display System
Based on Microvision’s patented light scanning technology, the recently
introduced Nomad Personal Display System is a high-resolution head-worn display
that presents images and information to the user on a see-through virtual
17-inch display. This unique personal display enables hands-free access to
information such as diagrams, instrumentation, maintenance records, moving maps
and interactive training manuals, superimposing the information on the user’s
view and creating “augmented vision.” The Nomad System features full
daylight-readability, allowing users to view high contrast images in even the
most challenging ambient lighting conditions. High quality, Super VGA resolution
makes the Nomad System immediately compatible with a broad range of existing
applications and content.
From flight paths to factory floors, surgical suites, and more, the Nomad System
can deliver major improvements in productivity, quality and safety for virtually
any type of manual task. The company is targeting applications for workers in
four vertical markets– industrial, aerospace, medical, and military– that
enable customers to keep information in front of people engaged in manual tasks
or on the move, allowing access to information at the point of task and
information, anywhere.
