Virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) glasses can all be used with it. In addition to developing a plastic lens, researchers developed a miniature high-resolution projection system which is a significant achievement. There are several benefits of plastic over glass, such as its lightweight, ease of molding, and ability to combine with strong materials. It’s the only place where such high-quality plastic lenses are available, and Kopin can benefit from it. Firstly, we are referring to the defense market, where Kopin has a strong position.
