Description
To fulfill the Socom requirement for a an intuitive, configurable, easy-to-use Human Machine Interface (HMI) for use by Naval Special Warfare (NSW) surface combatant craft tactical computer operators, Luminit, LLC, proposes to develop a new Motion Independent Human Machine Interface (MIHMI), using a HUD based on our substrate guided-wave hologram (SGWH). The MIHMI is virtual reality system, with the capability of correcting for subject and room motion. Successful development of the MIHMI will draw interest from a diverse body of users, including military personnel and gamers. In Phase I, Luminit will prove the MIHMI concept by fabricating and testing a subscale prototype. We anticipate that by the end of Phase II the MIHMI will be further developed to meet requirements for field tests, resulting in an engineering prototype that can be commercialized into a new, high-resolution gaming system.
