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.
