Managing Golden-i^® is comparable to the way today's desktop users control pages on a PC, moving and inserting information from different devices while controlling the resources and applications of each. The technology is ideal for exploring the information "cloud," and users can spontaneously jump on and off their host devices as needed.

Golden-i^® utilises six-axis gesture tracking, and an active DSP enabled phased array noise cancellation microphone, which provides 99 percent user speech recognition by virtually eliminating ambient sounds under the noisiest conditions. This enables Golden-i^® to be voice controlled, powering the hands-free computing experience. Additionally, the Golden-i^® headset accepts conventional user interface methods such as wireless touch screen, keyboard, or mouse.

The Golden-i^® monocular display system provides the mobile user with a normal PC experience, viewing full sized original content on a full PC sized display. Its 15-inch display appears 18 inches from the user's eye, below the user's normal line of sight, out of the way of normal peripheral vision. The Kopin display was designed not to interfere with user's normal work activities and mobility, and allows the use of a virtual display image for prolonged periods of time, without eye fatigue.

Golden-i^®'s Bluetooth technology allows for real-time on demand transmission and reception of streaming of training or informational videos. The six-axis solid state head tracking technology allows users to open and maintain multiple 15-inch displays screens virtually about the user any time. Tracking and gesture sensing technology as well as the speech control allows the user to infinitely zoom-in or zoom out on any image displayed, and when images are highly magnified, Golden-i^® allows the user to seamlessly look around at the magnified image as though he had a virtual three-foot, five-foot or larger display.

The Golden-i^® device has the power to completely change the way we work and live. It is designed as a wearable replacement for fixed PCs, rugged laptops and industrial handheld computers in environments that demand the constant use of hands by the user. The system gives workers the hands-free convenience to handle more tasks, while keeping the technology needed to further improve productivity and accuracy right at their fingertips—including data capture and mobile computing.

Businesses that can benefit most from Golden-i^® are in military and industrial markets that require hands-free access to information with a familiar PC experience. A few examples of how business productivity can be improved by Golden-i^® include:

Medical – Doctors and health care practitioners can access full-screen documents, view streaming video, discuss options and procedures with associates, and perform other functions–all simultaneously and hands free.

Manufacturing, Distribution, Logistics – Cell Leads, assembly-line workers, forklift operators, and inventory control personnel can perform labor-intensive duties while seamlessly accessing information related to product composition, locating, picking, and distributing inventory items – without having to juggle a bulky handheld computer.

Field Operations – Project developers and their contract professionals can view architectural drawings, 3-D renderings, specifications, schedules, and other information.

Military, Law Enforcement, Security – Field personnel in public safety agencies such as police, sheriff, federal, military, fire, emergency response services, and SWAT teams, can benefit from strong security capabilities, encrypted remote activation and de-activation, and an on-board GPS and digital compass.
