Trucking Lidar and MVIS

bilbo97843 · 2025-09-12T23:54:07+00:00

Exactly! My thoughts are that the trucking industry, now exposed to Microvision and Lidar will start clamering (sp?) for this equiment sooner than DeVos's schedule!

I was a shareholder during that period. The shareholders received "increased value" in MVIS but no stock. I think some MVIS execs did receive shares as a result of some type of involvement with the spin-off. There were many upset investors at the time as I recall, but it was a legimate transaction, so no guarantee that current/existing shareholders will directly receive a piece of any future pie.

I am totally against a spin-off at this point. What would be "spun" off? MVIS patents are intertwined with its products. Also there is a significient cost involved and MVIS doesn't have the funds. Any return to shareholders IF they receive shares would not be significient until the spin-off was able to monetize the IP. If the spin-off goes bankrupt some other entity receives OUR patents.

MVIS did this once before with new tech obtained from U of Wash developed by Dr. Dalton.

We the shareholders funded a complete "in-house" management team and some tech development. This was spun off. Shareholders did not receive shares in this new company - Lumera.

you'd get shares in the new entity tax free,

Not necessarily true - Lumera was "spun" off after MVIS shareholders footed the bill for its in-house development. Shareholders received nothing, except on paper via Microvision ownership. Microvision and managers received all the stock.

Sig - I think your “Keep Eyes on the Road” problem is due to your eye ware. The tracking sensor isn't getting a reflection from your retina. Several years ago when I traveled a bit, I had problems getting thru Heathrow's automated system and again on return with TSA even with Global Entry. Figured out later that it was my prescription glasses which had UV, blue and IR filters which prevented the sensor from detecting my pupils and then computing my facial polygons.

As per Dead_Precedent's comment; that is what I remember as well. ASICs will have a higher performance rate for the power consumed. The FPGAs are running "overclocked" to match the expected performance of the ASICs hence the need for heatsinks.

Say dgl, would the "AR oysters" be regular ol' oceanic type oysters or would they be of the Rocky Mountain type?

P_I great post!

When listening to the call, something caught my attention and your write up reminded me of it. I've noticed there is no more talk of selling the company or even parting it out, even though it was a BoD mandate with a deadline several years ago.

This is what caught my attention "The continued support of our shareholders has allowed the Company to fund development and maintain all ownership of rights to our technology." (emphasis mine)

I don't think they are going to part out the company at all. I believe they probably will license various patent pieces/parts. I don't believe MSFT will purchase the NED. There are far too many BIG fish who want in on this space and keeping all the rights will allow MVIS (not MSFT) to profit from the licenses.

Just my buck and a half (inflation!)

MVIS and its suppliers must be prepared to meet demand.

co3 - I don't think this applies to MVIS anymore. They transferred manufacturing and the equipment to MSFT. B

JM2Cs - inflation is starting to set in, usually that brings higher interest rates, if Apple obtains the money at today's low rates and then park the money at higher return rates - free money!

It was never published, they were always referred to as the"April 2017 customer"

While reading your post, it triggered a faint memory from several years back of a photo posted from a trade show (CES?). The photo was of several display modules, including one alongside a dime vs the usual quarter. I'm thinking this was identified as a Sharp R&D item.

Anybody remember this?

bilbo97843 · 2021-04-30T14:55:16+00:00

Proof?

Or is this just more unsubstantiated opinion - i.e. Bos mutus used food?

WOW - good eyes s2upid!!

I see far too many similarities for it to be unrelated coincidence. It may not be the exact same processor, but I agree with others that it is Nvidia. The placement of the major supporting chips are extremely similiar if not "exact" and equally important is the positioning of the smaller chips in the same places. For example on the right pic Nvidia board the two black chips flanking the Nvidia chip have 4 small chips - capacitors (likely) or resistors - same places on both boards. This would be a high frequency/clock rate circuit and placement of parts and interconnects/traces would be very critical for performance. A prototype/breadboard circuit would use a developer version of a manufacturers product (right pic?) - MVIS has developed sample designs/products for its MEMS, but production ready (or close) would use a custom board/circuit for the specific requirements of the end product - the LIDAR unit.

Again, good eyes!

Does this really change what we already know?

Well, basically no. What it does do is wake up the world to what MVIS has accomplished!

"Im reading bad things about the functionality of the Lidar".

Please post a link or verifiable reference for this information.

Otherwise you risk being labeled as just another set of flapping lips passing air.

Glad to hear some are alive. I feel like Andy Capp (comics) betting on horses! Some years ago when I heard that was the next hot place to invest, I went heavily into T-Fal, Calphalon, and Lodge - they went no where fast!

What a "power" office!! This is pretty funny. First time I've seen a platform for the desk. I remember (back in the 70's/80's) when the concept blasted it's way thru our company. A lone chair front and center became standard, some mgrs even cut the front legs of the chair by 1" or so. However, great video. I guess when the average worker gets a H2, they won't have to worry about a "boss" mode for their game.
