The Microvision was designed by Jay Smith, the engineer who would later design the Vectrex gaming console.

Connect Four was released for the Microvision video game console in 1979, developed by Robert Hoffberg.

In April 1976, the National Enterprise Board bought a 43 % stake in Sinclair Radionics for £ 650, 000, and in October the National Research and Development Council agreed to provide £ 1m for a revived portable TV project, which was finally launched in January 1977 as the Microvision TV1A and MON1A at £ 99. 95.

A controller similar to the D-pad appeared in 1981 on a handheld game system: Cosmic Hunter on Milton Bradley's Microvision ; it was operated using the thumb to manipulate the onscreen character in one of four directions.

In this respect, it was very similar to the concept of Milton Bradley's Microvision system released a few years earlier.

A version of Breakout called Block Buster was also packaged with the first handheld console with swappable cartridges, the Microvision.

The processors for the first Microvision cartridges were made with both Intel 8021 ( cross licensed by Signetics ) and Texas Instruments TMS1100 processors.

In 1966 Sinclair Radionics developed the world's first portable television, the " Microvision ", but never attempted to sell it because development costs would have been too high based on the complicated design the Microvision used.

* Microvision The earliest handheld device with swapable cartridges, ca 1979, shipped with Block Buster, a simplistic Breakout clone.

* Milton Bradley Company releases the Microvision handheld.

* Microvision ShowWX + — 15 Lumen handheld mobile projector and OEM component

Microvision units and cartridges are now somewhat rare.

A major design problem involves the fact that the microprocessor ( which is inside the top of each cartridge ) lacks ESD protection and is directly connected to the copper pins which normally connect the cartridge to the Microvision unit.

Instead of having buttons on a separate controller, the Microvision unit had a twelve-button keypad, with the switches buried under a thick layer of flexible plastic.

* Laser diode projectors have been developed by Microvision and Aaxa Technologies.

Microvision laser projectors use Microvision's patented laser beam-steering technology, whereas Aaxa Technologies uses laser diodes + LCoS.

Insight Media market research divided the leading players in this application into micro-display makers, e. g., TI's DLP, Himax, Micron / Displaytech and Syndiant LCoS, Maradin, Microvision, Lemoptix and bTendo MEMS scanners ); light source makers, e. g., Lumileds, Osram, Cree LEDs and Corning, Nichia, Mitsubishi Lasers ; and module makers, e. g., Jabil / Sypro Digital Light Processing ( DLP ) with LED, 3M Liquid crystal on Silicon ( LCoS ) with LED, Explay LCoS with laser.

The image in the Sinclair Microvision " flat " CRT is viewed from the same side of the phosphor struck by the electron beam.

Her face was very thin, and burned by the sun until much of the skin was dead and peeling, the new skin under it red and angry.

It was dark and, I sensed, very large ; ;

Neither was he very powerful of build.

He could move very quickly, she knew ( although he seldom found occasion to do so ), but he was more wiry than truly strong.

For a blood-chilling ring of terror to the very sound of his name was the tool he needed for the job he'd promised to do.

Horse smell was very strong, and he could hear the crunch of grain being ground between strong jaws.

Forced to realize that this was the end of a very short line I scanned a road marker and discovered what the end of a slightly longer line would be for the old Mexican: Moriarty, New Mexico.

He caught up with me once and grabbed me, but I was all covered with zing -- it's very slippery, you know ''.

He was very tanned -- big hands might have torn him from a Coca-Cola poster.

As he watched the man sit suddenly, a detached part of his mind observed how very difficult it was, really, to knock a man off his feet.

He was a florid, puffy man in his early sixties, very natty in his yachting cap, striped jacket and white flannels.

He was in his early forties, rather short and very compactly built, and with a manner that was reserved and stiff despite his efforts to adapt himself to American ways.

he was very thirsty, but he must observe water discipline.

School began in August, the hottest part of the year, and for the first few days Miss Langford was very lenient with the children, letting them play a lot and the new ones sort of get acquainted with one another.

He was over six feet tall and very thin.

The fear of disease was formerly very much the kind of fear I have tried to describe.

`` I knew I was carrying on with abstraction to its very end -- for me '', he said of the two years' output in Virginia.

It was very widely read, too ; ;

She was now enjoying the voyage very much.

Ann was very troubled.

Among the dolls was one that meant very much to the First Lady, who would pick it up and look at it often.

Mama was very patriotic, and one of the duties she was proudest of was repairing the edges of the flag that flew above the White House.
