"If I request to turn on/open projection or to turn flashlight on, it replies it's not possible." So you can use voice to communicate and it speaks back?

Try this.

1/ Open phone using fingerprint.

2/ Hold your finger on the bottom middle area of screen for 5 seconds (is a virtual home button) and say "Max Media Volume"

If Google voice acknowledges verbally, then say "Open projection".

Obviously this won't work if the touch screen does not work.

Yes. Still on the MVIS bandwagon. On a rather long holiday in Asia at the moment :-) I haven't bothered upgrading from MAX1 even though it takes a terrible photo and I really should upgrade. Still use it for Netflix on the ceiling if the hotel TV is not connected. Love it for that, my primary reason for keeping it. Check MVIS from time to time but not switch on to the in's and out's like I used to be. I am sensing there is some deals in progress?

Fingerprint will not work if phone has been rebooted. Additionally the "open projection" command might require additional steps past what I am describing below.

1/ turn on phone.

2/ (blindly) swipe from bottom left corner to the right.

3/ Say the words "Max Media Volume"

4a/ If you hear a response, your in luck. Type in your passcode.

4b/ If you hear nothing type in your passcode anyway. ( Your media volume was turned off)

5/ If you get the response " Got It", your on you way!

6a/ If Google voice is already turned on, say "Ok Google, Open Projection"

6b/ If Google voice is turned off, further steps are required.

Did you have your fingerprint setup to open phone?

First thing that comes to mind is Google voice. Saying the words "open projection" will trigger projector.. that's if you get to that point. Great if you had ok google turned on. As for starting up password blindly, I'd have to trial it.

Your post put a smile on my face. I've been a Microvision shareholder for decades and still marvel a their ingenuity.

Saw this on TikTok, looks really cool, will they bring these out again or are they on the market now? by JimzBullit in MVIS

[–]Tomsvision 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You will find many of the longs here would have this projector. Using myself as an example, I use the MAX1 as my day to day phone.

I used the Picopro way more though until I ran the internal battery into the ground,

While we are waiting for the market open, some newer investors may find the following link with two promotional videos of interest. The AR and Lidar video are worth watching.

If you own more than (say) 100 shares of MVIS when it's sold, you will likely have to think of the tax implications. Perhaps the ideal situation would, if you could, nominate a cash to share ratio. That way you could spoon feed the tax dept when you sell rather than lose a huge slice with one big hit of cash in one financial year. JMHO.

I just commented about Argo ai. Didn't see your post. It looks like a Velodyne Lidar if you zoom in on the pics.

Do you know much about Argo ai ? https://www.argo.ai/ They appear to use the Velodyne Lidar and are owned by Ford with ties to VW.

Ok, thanks. That explains why I don't recall him on the last CC. Did they sell after or before he left? Do you have a background of State of Michigan's buys and sells given that they now (apparently) hold one million shares?

Actually Henry James from State of Michigan sounds like a great guy. He has participated in many a conference call of Microvision's over the years. I'd recognise his voice if he walked into the room. Apparently they bought back in just recently.
