BTW, I've been carrying a prototype around and have shown it to various people and it's the best experience
any of them have seen. Jeffrey, we've got to show you. It looks simple, but the field of view and the simplicity
is really important. It's much better than the high end systems and sort of shows how important math is -
basically great lens design are more important than just about anything else. ;-)

The first units that will be coming out are developer units, though they should be available to anyone that
wants to purchase it.

We are beginning to look at what it would take to support phones as well - a higher power lens will give us the
same field of view we have now but work with a 5 inch phone. We also think we can do this with a single
lens/eye which will simplify the design and lower the cost.
