I would like to also thank all of our technology providers, including NVIDIA, Varjo, and Eight360. Their strategic support has been instrumental in helping us deliver cutting-edge solutions.”
Lyron Bentovim, President and CEO of Glimpse said: “Entering into a CRADA with the U.S. Navy is a significant achievement for BLI, demonstrating the depth of their capabilities and the effectiveness of their solutions. We expect this technology to drive significant immersive use cases across multiple industries – ranging from industrial, to media to military.”
This newest agreement with the U.S. Navy is not the first time Brightline has engaged with a government organization.
