"These innovative applications will provide AWE attendees with a first glimpse of the power of the Moverio BT-300," said Eric Mizufuka, product manager, New Ventures for Epson America. "I'm confident that the Moverio BT-300 represents the next display technology - the 4th screen - that will soon dominate the electronics industry."
