Not sure how geeky that title really is but Westwood, MA based MicroOptical has just received funding for their new visor technology that creates a large format (about 12 – 14″) virtual video view for use with your iPod. The deal was for $11.53M led by Atlas Venture and including Intel Capital Hillman Company and Turner Broadcasting.
I first read about this in Mass High Tech and was curious how this technology would take hold but for road-hardened business travelers, this is an airplane dream. Imagine being able to zone out other passengers completely with this little gizmo?
The company acutaly produces a wide range of visual technologies from medical through military applications (where I suspect the real money is). This appears to be the first consumer focused offering from the company.
