“We’ve had a strategic relationship with Kopin since our
inception,” said Andrew Chrostowski, Chairman and CEO of RealWear.

modular design, it made perfect sense to launch using Kopin’s next
generation offering. Kopin’s deep expertise in microdisplays and
optics, including capabilities across multiple microdisplay
technologies, has enabled our team to design our human-centric
products to exceed expectations of our customers, now and into the
