Here’s what we do know:
From the 10-Q
The Company is developing the CSpace 3D volumetric display technology, specifically the Trade-Show Prototype (“TSP”), through the Sponsored Research Agreement (the “SRA”) with the University of Oklahoma and development contracts with Advanced Optical Technologies, Inc. (“AOT”) of Albuquerque, NM. Dr. Brian Hoover, CEO of AOT, has been retained as 3DIcon VP of Technology Development, responsible for integration of technologies and resources in the development and commercialization of CSpace. From March 2011, the company has mobilized a team including an optical engineer, systems engineer, computer-graphics specialists, and consulting mechanical and design engineers (through Comet Solutions) to develop the TSP design, conduct computer-based modeling and simulation, design and construct a physical laser and materials testbed at the OU Tulsa laboratory, develop an online program-management system, find and qualify new facilities for TSP development, and help define commercialization paths. …The TSP is expected to be developed at new facilities in Albuquerque, NM.
From Sid’s November 1, 2011 letter
“I spoke of the new additions to our Technical Development Team, including Brian Hoover, our new VP of Technology Development, Patrick Davidson M.S., an optical engineer… The addition of Dave Taliaferro, an experienced technology development project manager and systems engineer, to support Brian Hoover in planning, executing, and controlling the TSP Development Project was also detailed.
“I noted our recent consideration of a new facility in Albuquerque, NM for building out the Trade Show Prototype (TSP). The current facility at the University of Oklahoma laboratory is simply too small to allow us to assemble the technical staff necessary for the project’s completion. The facility under consideration is approximately 3000 sq. ft., and is located next to the Sandia National Labs and the Air Force research labs. Albuquerque is an ideal location for sourcing the high-tech workforce necessary to complete the TSP.”
Brian Hoover's Experience
VP Technology Development - 3DIcon
February 2011 – February 2012 (1 year 1 month)
Lead development of CSpace autostereoscopic display to marketing prototype
“…display to marketing prototype.” Could it be the EVTB is history created in Tulsa (awaiting a PR) and the TSP will make its debut in Albuquerque – with Brian’s contract renewed?
