The MRG2 displays have endured thousands of hours of public use at venues from DisneyWorld in Florida to video arcades in Vancouver. This durable, functional HMD has become very popular with university researchers and the military, as well. "We want to make the MRG2 available to as many potential customers as possible," said Shannon O'Brien, Director of Marketing and Sales, "as well as acknowledge the great support that we've received from the industry."
