Microvision Signs Co-Marketing Agreement with ViTel Net for Nomad Personal Display
6/3/2002 6:33:00 AM

Companies exhibit at American Telemedicine Association Meeting thru June 5 in Los Angeles

BOTHELL, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–June 3, 2002– Microvision, Inc., (Nasdaq:MVIS), announced today that ViTel
Net(TM) (http://www.vitelnet.com), a leading developer of telemedicine
solutions has agreed to be a co-marketing partner and value added
reseller for the Nomad Personal Display System.(TM)

The two companies will collaborate on solutions that combine ViTel
Net ‘s Total Enterprise Telemedicine (wireless hospital information
systems) Solutions with Microvision’s Nomad Personal Display System.
They will demonstrate examples to prospective customers at the
American Telemedicine Association’s Seventh Annual Meeting thru June
5, 2002 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Microvision estimates a
potential available opportunity of 300,000 key hospital workers in the
U.S. alone that would benefit from the combined Nomad/ViTel Net
offering.

Founded in 1989, ViTel Net(TM) offers a full spectrum of scalable,
customizable and Internet enabled telemedicine solutions, based on its
MedVizer(TM) software application. MedVizer is a robust,
open-architecture, cross-platform, windows operating system software
environment that allows secured information sharing in a wide-array of
settings. Scalable hardware and software configurations are easily
customized to meet specific clinical needs. ViTel Net’s telemedicine
solutions are compatible with standard telecommunication protocols
(wireless, POTS, ISDN, T-1, satellite, etc.), are medical device
neutral and integrate with most legacy information systems.

Both Microvision and ViTelNet have contracts with the U.S. Army’s
Wireless Medical Enterprise Program’s Telemedicine and Advanced
Technology Research Center (TATRC) for the initial phase in the
development of a mobile wireless system for medical applications.
Microvision recently announced a $3.3 million development contract
from TATRC for the development of a new personal display to enable
military surgical personnel and medics to access, read, and transmit
critical medical data via a head-worn display, wearable computer, and
wireless network.

“This co-marketing partnership gives Microvision access to the
growing telemedicine market with our Nomad system.” said David
Ormerod, Microvision’s medical segment manager. “As part of our
on-going strategy to develop a successful distribution channel and add
partners with keen insight to diverse markets, we believe the Nomad
System will excel in hospital environments where a physician needs
continuous access to information in a hands-free and see-through mode,
including patient monitored information and diagnostic images.”
Microvision has announced the signing of fifteen channel partners in
the past ninety days.

Based on Microvision’s patented retinal scanning technology, the
recently introduced Nomad display system is a high-resolution headworn
display that presents images and information to the user in a
see-through or “head-up” mode. This unique personal display will
enable head-up, hands-free access to information such as diagrams,
instrumentation, maintenance records, moving maps and interactive
training manuals. The Nomad display 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 immediately compatible with a
broad range of existing applications and content.

By enabling users to merge selected electronic images into their
natural field of vision, the Nomad Personal Display System can bring
critical information to the point of task. From flight lines to
factory floors, surgical suites, and more, systems utilizing the Nomad
display 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.
