ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kopin Corporation (Nasdaq: KOPN), a leading developer and provider of high-resolution micro-displays and advanced optics for wearable headset products, today announced a joint technology solution with OPTAC-X, a leading telehealth company, and RealWear, the world’s leading provider of hands-free, assisted reality, rugged wearable headsets. OPTAC-X’s system is the first and only system to offer LTE and SATCOM enabled telehealth – designed to enable life-saving capabilities to medics and first responders in combat and other hostile environments. The solution utilizes RealWear’s assisted reality wearable which features Kopin’s display and optic technologies.

The OPTAC-X telehealth system with global hybrid LTE and SATCOM connectivity by Kymeta Corporation enables in-field medics to instantly consult its network of remote physicians and surgeons to aid them in performing advanced life-saving procedures and prolonged field care in severe environments. With the system’s real-time video and voice communications the deployed medic and the remote doctor can see the injured person and communicate, enabling immediate life-saving and prolonged field care oversight and assistance. The system’s voice control enables full hands-free operation and control so that the medic can focus on the patient.

RealWear is the pioneer of assisted reality headsets with best-in-class devices that are fully voice-driven (up to 100dBA) and rugged rated up to and including military standards (IP66, MIL-STD-810H, 6.5 feet / 2-meter drop). The device has been successfully deployed for telemedicine and telesurgery by medical teams supporting emergency care as a result of military actions, including for emergency open heart surgery.

Kopin’s Golden Pearl™ optical module, a key component in RealWear’s assisted reality headsets, contains a 0.32″, 24-bit full color, high-brightness LCD micro-display, efficient white LED backlight and curved prism optics with nano-structures. Kopin’s A914 driver ASIC, together with the high-brightness Golden Pearl optical module, has low power consumption and produces a bright, full color image.

“It is incredibly rewarding to know that Kopin’s micro-display technology will play such an important role in providing aid and life-saving support through OPTAC-X’s telehealth solution,” said Greg Truman, Head of Kopin’s Industrial and Enterprise Display Business. “Our Golden Pearl optical module will offer OPTAC-X’s military and medical end users a means of viewing critical information in a comfortable eye box and small form factor.”

As one of the largest suppliers of micro-displays for the U.S. military, Kopin has delivered advanced display systems that are inside more than a quarter million deployed systems, including thermal weapon sights, night vision systems, pilot helmets, including for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, and target locators.
