Re: Thanks for the invitation - Golden-i Headset at VLAB Wearables event last night

[Fred Stein]

Jeff, 

I'm impressed with your success and appreciate getting all the details from you.

Michael, thanks for you support.

I'd also like to call our Vinod Mitulal, who orchestrated all the demos for us;

And most importantly Tom Sherlock, who reached out to the Golden-i, finding

the right people to make the case for the collaboration.

cc'ed the event team - awesome team.

Dear Fred:

 

Thank-you and your team for the opportunity and the experience my engineers shared at the Stanford/MIT VLAB event last night.  Please also pass along our thanks to Michael Chong, I do not have his e-mail address.

 

Last week at CES 2012 Verizon and Kopin generated a Tsunami of business opportunities around Golden-i headsets with 4G LTE and unrestricted hands-free wireless computing and communication applications.

 

Since opening day at CES 1/10/12, www.mygoldeni.com daily website traffic has increased substantially, ranging between 700% and 900% everyday and has shown no slow down a week after CES.  As a part of the Verizon booth, our Golden-i headset has generated 10 to 15 completely new Google pages every 24 hours since day one at CES and it didn't even slow down over the past weekend.  Tuesday following Martin Luther King Day . . . Google traffic started increasing again.  There were 20+ Golden-i or Public Safety video reports and international news broadcasts covering Golden-i enhanced with 4G LTE services filmed in Verizon's CES booth.  The bloggers at CES embraced Golden-i, a couple video blogs donned Golden-i headsets with cameras, paired the headsets to their phones and/or notebooks and ran all over CES interviewing individuals  or shooting new product footage for real-time broadcast.  I already shared with you that one of the individuals who stopped one of these video bloggers wearing Golden-i was Serge Brin, Chairman of Google.  Serge expressed "Golden-i was the coolest thing at CES".   We suspect you'll see more and more mobile camera bloggers roaming trade conferences wearing Golden-i headsets, broadcasting real-time interviews live while connected to 4G LTE services.  We have received 7 or 8 requests for Golden-i headsets with wireless hands-free cameras for use in Barcelona for the World Wireless Congress coming-up.  We're receiving invitations from Verizon customers and CES attendees who visited the Verizon booth to discuss deploying Golden-i headsets with 4G LTE service in has been over whelming.  Even Verizon Account Managers have been busy setting up meetings and conference calls for Verizon enterprise or municipal customers to discuss deploying Golden-i headsets with 4G LTE.

 

The highlight of our week with Verizon in Las Vegas at CES has to be the invitation to have Golden-i appear in "Iron Man 3".

Hope you enjoyed some additional background information.  Kopin Corporation spun out of MIT's Lincoln Labs in 1985, we licensed 29 patents
when we left MIT.  I maintain Kopin offices and a Military Design Center here in the Bay Area.  If possible I'd like to build the same working relationship with Stanford's VLAB, that we have enjoyed with MIT for over 25 years.

 

Respectfully,

Jeff

Subject: Thanks for you support of the Wearables event

Hi Yossi,

Thanks so much to you for directing us to Moto people supporting
our VLAB.org event; And big thanks to those, cc'ed, who participated
and helped make this a record breaking success.

I just learned that we sold out the house - 600 seats. The prior high
was 420. And we got a call out from CNET (our moderator was Rafe
Needleman of CNET).

the challenge we're taking on.
