Kopin Corporation announced it has received an initial production order for the CR3 wearable surgical monitor from HMDmd Inc. (HMDmd). The CR3 is a head-mounted display (?HMD?) system that is the culmination of a multi-year development program by Kopin and HMDmd to produce a medical-grade wearable monitor that meets the exacting needs of surgeons and supporting clinical personnel. The CR3 provides full-HD resolution 3-D imagery in a lightweight, ergonomic package and is 4K video compatible.

The CR3 is configured for use with 2-D and 3-D endoscopes and operating microscopes/exoscopes and is plug-in compatible with products produced by major surgical systems companies. The CR3 enables surgeons to maintain a direct view of the surgical field while also being able to easily access critical information, such as live video feeds from surgical instruments and diagnostic images, by simply glancing up to see needed information on the head-worn display system, as opposed to constantly moving their head up to see a monitor and then down to see the patient.
