in june 2008, innovega was co-founded by the former microvision employees: randall sprague, steve willey and jerome legerton. the company developed the ioptik eyewear display. it comprises a pair of contact lens which refocus polarized light to the pupil and allows the wearer to focus on an image that is as near as 1.25 cm to the eye, thus enabling displays to be built into normal-looking glasses without the bulky optics. in april 2012, the company signed a contract to deliver a fully functioning prototype to the pentagon’s research laboratory, darpa. at ces 2013, the company demonstrated a prototype of its eyewear display that features a field of view of 60 degrees or more. it also claimed that a field of view of nearly 120 degrees is already in the works. the first version of innovega's glasses are designed for military use, but it is planning a consumer version by 2014 or 2015.
