‘THIS IS THE TIME --- SEIZE THE OPPORTUNITY’
We are now transitioning from flat screen 2D to
the dimensional vistas --- any where, any time. For
this purpose Z*Tron Vision is the missing
platform tool kit for the transformation.
MISSION: Introduce auto dimensional HIVE
platforms globally, through an infrastructure
we help support.
Z*Tron Vision Amplifies & Enhances Images
• In real time to dimensional space
• Auto dimension (3D) without the need of glasses
• Full spectrum color with infinite depth of focus

In the next decade, the ambiance of theaters, arenas, museums,
sound stages and other venues is poised to change in exciting
ways: new platforms become an integrated part of the structure’s
architecture. A new digital theatrical “experience” is born.
Z*Tron Vision (Z*TV) transforms any feed to dimensional
moving images on curved screens for Z*Rama /Cinerama/
Dome Theater clubs. Real time curved backsets, like the film used
behind actors in the 30’s, allow a new studio of the future.
Digitron technique: places an actor or actress into the projected
image, thus, creating the long awaited "virtual set", not possible
before, because the Z*TV projector was not available that creates in
real time dimensional images in curved space. The virtual
set evolves into the long awaited holodeck playpen.

They state the Troyer patents are the streamlined long awaited solution
for immersive platforms (CAVE) for training and teaching.
• Immersive training, command and control walls and sturdy suitcase on the
ground, sturdy handheld, etc.
• They have seen too many attempted failures: wrong designs.
• Dual Use/ Quad Use: fast track -- work with gamers to design platforms.
• Keep strong handle on the model designs, Apple style.
• R&D Wright Patterson expert suggests setting up Cooperative R&D
agreement to develop C2 walls and on the ground (command & control)
and Immersive training--- CAVE
Note: Troyer wants to work with expert at Wright Patterson Air Force who
has experience with dimensional imaging and laser displays. She feels his ir
guidance would be greatly beneficial in this process.

Troyer Claims
AAXA; Microvision/ Intel/Pioneer; Light Blue Optics; IMAX/ Barco/Kodak;
Sony; RED/ HDI; LIPA Consortium
All the above infringe on the basic Troyer patent claims:
Laser light beam directed to reflective light valve (RLV): DLP, LCoS, MEMS,
LED, etc. with red 635 nm or over for full color spectrum.
Sub-claim: Add cyan to RGB (Red/Green/Blue): less speckle; more saturated
http://www.display-central.com/lle-provides-details-speckle-new-products/
“Secret Sauce” Sony states extended green eliminates speckle
Cyan (blue/green) with 635 nm. red or above.
In order to have best 3D stereo or auto dimensional images, the attributes
of the laser beams have to be kept to the screen.
Keep coherence, collimation, polarization in laser beam to screen
Provides best 3D and sharp images
IF IT IS: infinite focus, instant transformation; innate sharpness;
Automatically focuses on irregular surfaces; Dome, curved screen, etc.
More Eye Safe: Expanded Laser Beam instead of direct beam

TechCrunch: James Cameron Interview
TechCrunch: Is the future of 3D about the movies or TV?
Cameron: The future of 3D will be defined by TV. The reason for that is
it’s going to solve this whole conversion issue. Because the 3D
production cycle for TV is so short. You don’t have time to do a
conversion. It just doesn’t exist. It’s just not part of the vocabulary. So,
the tools for shooting it, posting it, delivering it, displaying it, are all
going to be proven in the TV markets and then movie guys are just
going to have to get in line with it.
TechCrunch: What do you think about the state of 3D TV’s?
Cameron: Mid level big flat panels are 3D now. — It’s really not that
big a deal anymore. So, I think where it’s ultimately got to end, is
glasses free viewing in the home, on the big screen

HIVE Platforms
Z*TV is the keystone/ linchpin to the HIVE – as important
as the printing press was to publishing.
Many applications (apps) will be created and streamlined
by the HIVE attributes.
Augmented Reality/ Virtual Reality/ CAVE/ Telepresence
Real time dimensional HIVE images in curved space —cut
the costs and time taken by more than 50%.
HIVE platform attributes are sought by location based
entertainment venues; Themed park entertainment,
immersive training/learning, Edutainment, etc.
Troyer Basic Patented Design
• Answer to the next laser projector display.
• Streamlined and less expensive (KISS)
• Troyer team has accomplished much, even with severe
interference from competitors and not sufficient
funding.
• Many companies have nothing to show after spending
100’s of million; This is because they started from the
wrong premise – the wrong architecture—the wrong
design.
• They do not have the luxury of having almost 20 years
of R&D with laser projection with the TRW war room
laser projectors as a platform.
How Does Troyer Understand Laser Projectors?
• Troyer designed meta-mix venue (Iowa City) performance, back set, TV studio club
• Troyer education: TV production, Film production, Multi-media, Inter Media
• Graduate writer’s workshop (Kurt Vonnegut teacher).
• Many productions (feature, public TV, commercials, documentaries).
• Grand Daddy’s / Rosebud studios were probably first TV studio club world wide.
• Public TV Tween show (Cornucopia), Star talent search show, Other TV shows.
• One of first music video clips –example for MTV – Fabulous Thunderbirds
• Troyer was hired to design studio and staging for Hollywood Palladium.
• Goal: design the next step back staging for performance and TV studio venue.
• Realistic images-- Wish List: Full color, high resolution, high contrast.
• Ability to adjust to curve, dimensional images.
• Troyer reviewed projectors on the market and in the labs.
• No projector could provide realistic backsets. The GE Telaria had good colors.
• Troyer was informed of TRW laser projector for war rooms command and control.
• She arranged a demonstration for the TRW laser projector at a lab in Silicon Valley.
• Troyer discovered infinite depth of focus: TRW projector image was always in focus
(no other displays) She moved white board back and forth (image always focused)
• Troyer understood infinite focus attribute was a missing link for 3D displays.
• Troyer knew instantly that this attribute was needed for 3D curved back sets.
GOAL: Licensing, Assignments, Strategic Partners
Deliver Best Projector In Volume
• Work with strategic partner vendors.
• Volume vendor parts provide favorable projector price.
• Stream lining to be globally competitive.
• Prepared for volume orders.
TECH TV SHAKE UP
• ZELF labs attached to the MetaSphere: Jobs, Training, Centers
of innovation– provide HIVE platforms based around Z*TV
attributes. Provide HIVE platforms for corporate, government,
industry clients.
• Z*Kit is the computer/ sever – adjusted to application.
• Smart Internet TV: Concentrate on best “suitcase” model for
home/ gaming/ medical/ scientific/ industry.
Troyer: Laser Projection Representative
Troyer Represented TRw Laser Projector to the Hollywood Studios
Troyer designed for Paramount TV show based on always in focus sets.
Al Mirabella (Disney Imagineering) supported introduction to studio theme parks.
TRW contract was over and the projectors were mothballed right before Desert Storm.
(No room for laser battery backup war rooms -6 floors underground)—SAC, MAC, NORAD.
Troyer purchased the 8 projectors. TRW provided boxes of studies, R&D and drawings.
Took laser projectors to Los Angeles from Omaha. Hands on experience/ doing many upgrades/
Great feed back and suggestions from studio experts at demonstrations.
TRW War Room Command & Control Laser Projector
Only laser projector that has been successfully launched: Ran 24/7 for 3 years; 97% up time.
Over $500 million invested in R&D. Sold for $360,000 each.
TRW used flat screens. TRW did not use the infinite focus aspect ( found it a distraction).
Not eye safe -- delivered the laser beams directly out of the lens (flying laser scan).
TRW design was not optically efficient. More than 40 optics in the optic train.
Z*Tron Vision Patented Process Overcomes These TRW Defects
Much Brighter: Streamlined the optic path (under 10 optics instead of 40)
Solid state lasers instead of gas; Changed modulation method from Acoustic to reflective light valve.
Troyer patent (2001): modulation with reflective light valve (RLV); Laser images eye safe with RLV.
Created a larger color spectrum by using deeper nanometer red (over 635 nm,)
CAVE DREAM
Show natural realistic visuals in curved space.
Build realistic immersive environments in real time–
the holodeck.
Cross fertilization of disciplines to create new
paradigms.
Z*Tron Vision transforms flat screen reality to curved
space --- as dramatic as when talkies replaced silent
film and black and white became color.
INFINITE SHARPNESS (IF IT IS)
Adjusts to the projection
media in real time without the
need of algorithm manipulation

ESTIMATED WORTH
Licensing, Assignment, Strategic Partners
EVALUATORS ACCESS MZTV PATENTS AS “STRONG”
Demonstration models show ‘Proof of Concept’
If the business model is handled correctly and the patents are
carefully monitored for infringement, a great deal of income can
be received from strategic partner licensing and building new
companies and sub-companies.
NOTE: Industry is frustrated: there are no laser projectors on the
Market (Evans & Sutherland mothballed – was not bright and did
not have infinite focus). Many companies have placed hundreds
of millions into development of laser displays and have failed.
Thus, the Industry is waiting in anticipation for the discovery of
the long sought solution.
MANY COMPANIES ARE WORKING ON LASER PROJECTORS
(KODAK DEMONSTRATING LASER PROJECTOR -- TO LICENSE)
• IMAX is now investing in a laser company to flood a light valve (not
efficient use of laser light and causes ghosting artifacts).
• Sony has developed a laser module. Samsung, Mitsubishi, Toshiba and
many others are working on laser displays.
• The question now in the industry is who will deliver?
• Companies license Z*TV (proven as the laser projector solution).
• Z*Tron Vision has open architecture patents on the whole projector.
• We use reflective light valves that works best for us: DLP, LCOS, and LED.
• Licensors receive best laser projector design based on light valve device.
• Region/ countries receive the assembled Z*TV and extended platforms.
• Often licensors add their applications; Sony who will probably want to
assemble their own.
• 2010: Develop the licensing and lease model on landscape that exists.

KODAK PATENT PENDING
http://www.faqs.org/patents/app/20100007852
LASER ILLUMINATED MICRO-MIRROR PROJECTOR
www.kodak.com/go/laserprojection
DLP is a micro-mirror (reflective light valve).
The 2006 Troyer patent claims cover expanded laser beams spatially modulated by
any/ all reflective light valves (claims broadened from liquid crystal light valve)
Kodak refers to the Troyer patents in at least 3 of their patents.
This is their attempt to write around the Troyer laser projector patents.
Kodak uses lasers, keeping the polarization and coherence for their 3D.
Kodak presents two channel stereo using the infinite focus attribute.
Two channel stereo is a described process in Troyer published white paper: 2005.
White paper suggests a better auto stereo approach than two channel glasses 3D.
Kodak Prototype model uses claims from Troyer patents
• Lasers addressed to a reflective light valve with full colored images (635 nm red or
above) for full color spectrum mix.
• Infinite sharp infinite depth of focus images by keeping coherence and polarization
to screen to create full color dimensional (with depth) images.
• Many other claims
COMPONENT DESIGN ON TRACK
• Apple TV streams video --- A Z*TV curved screen dimensional display.
• Small laser projector head
• Z*Kit computer engine server/ evolved blue ray/ set top box.
• Many are working on boxes, chips, boards, servers, storage/image enhancements.
• Streamlined: we chose our off the shelf parts.
• Adjusted 3D chip to transfer 3D content for infinite focus.
• NVidia offered support as well as others for the honing of the chip.
• Streamline virtual labs with expert support to build the Z*TV models.
• Cookie cutter and stacked parts (small or larger) same design and material.
• All Z*TV models fall under this umbrella except the Pico (miniature world).
• Troyer patented process: through working with Symbol-- found new way to
approach Pico-- much brighter.
• No one has approached the Pico this way -- far better dimensional image.
THIS HAS BEEN A BOOTSTRAPPED PROJECT
It is time to work with the best strategic partners and bring in the Z*TV models

Troyer about the patented approach with lasers. Intel engineers explored ZTV infinite focus
architecture to enhance and simplify the Intel design and make their display more
competitive. The Intel CEO decided the lasers were not mature at that point and dropped
the 100 million dollar display project. Many were waiting for the Intel display and Intel stock
fell. The world market is still waiting for such a display. Finally the lasers are mature.

Subject: Laser Projectors
Diane,
It was a pleasure talking to you yesterday. I am very happy to hear that the production of your
Laser Projector is progressing. I greatly appreciate your keeping me in the know.
The sooner you can go into production, the sooner I can lease your projectors. Then I can start
taking advantage of your projectors capabilities to solve some of my production problems, and
give our creative minds a new tool to work with to create new vistas.
On a recent remote production at SeaWorld in Orlando with Wheel of Fortune, a laser projector
would have been the perfect tool to use to project on two air balloons that we used on the set,
as well as onto the two fountains in the background. The solution we came up with was less
then ideal, and far more money then I wanted to spend. When dealing with the Art Department
and our technicians, there were many times I wished I had the laser technology available to me.
I look forward to hearing from you soon, with the good news that I can start renting your laser
projectors.
Best of Luck, Bob Sofia

  • 27. Z*TV Patented Architecture Design Proven with Copycats http://www.slideshare.net/fullscreen/metatroy/troyer-patent- portfolio-2012/1 Slide Share copy of Metatroy Blogs- see index Patent Claim Charts: • Kodak (digital cinema) • HDI LTD (Las Gatos) for the home • Kodak and HDI use a two channel stereo with glasses 3D • Two channel approach is covered in Troyer 2005 SBIR paper • Patents cover another 3D without glasses approach • Troyer patented process is streamlined and less expensive Mobile Projectors: no patent to cover basic laser projector • Light Blue Optics, Microvision, AaxaTech, etc.
  • 28. Troyer Claims AAXA; Microvision/ Intel/Pioneer; Light Blue Optics; IMAX/ Barco/Kodak; Sony; RED/ HDI; LIPA Consortium All the above infringe on the basic Troyer patent claims: Laser light beam directed to reflective light valve (RLV): DLP, LCoS, MEMS, LED, etc. with red 635 nm or over for full color spectrum. Sub-claim: Add cyan to RGB (Red/Green/Blue): less speckle; more saturated http://www.display-central.com/lle-provides-details-speckle-new-products/ “Secret Sauce” Sony states extended green eliminates speckle Cyan (blue/green) with 635 nm. red or above. In order to have best 3D stereo or auto dimensional images, the attributes of the laser beams have to be kept to the screen. Keep coherence, collimation, polarization in laser beam to screen Provides best 3D and sharp images IF IT IS: infinite focus, instant transformation; innate sharpness; Automatically focuses on irregular surfaces; Dome, curved screen, etc. More Eye Safe: Expanded Laser Beam instead of direct beam
  • 29. IF IT IS attributes: transformative for the next display platforms Full color spectrum with Cyan • Consumers for their Smart TV and home theater. • Digital Cinema audiences. • Military/ government : Dome/ CAVE/HIVE immersive training/ simulation • Signage — innovative Z depth focus (shown real time on curves) • Opera/ Broadway/ music tour, staging and backsets for performance/ content productions • Telecine: post house and consumer copying film, slides, video, — any feed • Medical: ability to see captured dimensional camera images (endoscopic/ MIR/ etc.) not distorted on flat screens, but seen with best image (contrast, resolution, color ranges, layers, dimensional, always in focus— MRI slices merged in real time for dimensional images vivid images). • Scientific/ Instrumentation/ Microscopic/
  • 30. TechCrunch: James Cameron Interview TechCrunch: Is the future of 3D about the movies or TV? Cameron: The future of 3D will be defined by TV. The reason for that is it’s going to solve this whole conversion issue. Because the 3D production cycle for TV is so short. You don’t have time to do a conversion. It just doesn’t exist. It’s just not part of the vocabulary. So, the tools for shooting it, posting it, delivering it, displaying it, are all going to be proven in the TV markets and then movie guys are just going to have to get in line with it. TechCrunch: What do you think about the state of 3D TV’s? Cameron: Mid level big flat panels are 3D now. — It’s really not that big a deal anymore. So, I think where it’s ultimately got to end, is glasses free viewing in the home, on the big screen
  • 31. ZELF: Zone Enhanced Location Fusion Suggested private / public/ non-profit franchises • MetaZone & WarpZone: Gaming immersive mini theaters. Z*Pod arcades • Bucket of Dreams: advanced Chucky Cheese franchise • Teen Green Screen; Tool kit for creating content: local games; horror interactive movies with merchandising; fractal immersion rooms; history traveling to different time periods; Space travel; “Hands On” learning; Teens Congregate. • STEAM TEAMS: Place art (A) into STEM (science, tech, engineering, math) • ZPA LA LA: communal healing spa devices; venues: laser light heals/ sports healing/ beautification aging/ animal healing/ arthritis/ cleansing etc. • ZELF Labs: HIVE platforms; Zpa sports healing devices, etc. • MetaStation: dome train rides– • MetaSphere: Z*Rama (dimension dome Cinerama/Planetarium/ Sound stage backsets; performance/ extravaganza; Lab HIVE platform apps • MetaMash Karaoke/ Performance clubs: Real time automatic backsets projected; Singer performs in immersive sets; Z*TV projector camera— capture and project performer in environment (singer designs worlds).
  • 32. HIVE Platforms Z*TV is the keystone/ linchpin to the HIVE – as important as the printing press was to publishing. Many applications (apps) will be created and streamlined by the HIVE attributes. Augmented Reality/ Virtual Reality/ CAVE/ Telepresence Real time dimensional HIVE images in curved space —cut the costs and time taken by more than 50%. HIVE platform attributes are sought by location based entertainment venues; Themed park entertainment, immersive training/learning, Edutainment, etc.
  • 33. Troyer Basic Patented Design • Answer to the next laser projector display. • Streamlined and less expensive (KISS) • Troyer team has accomplished much, even with severe interference from competitors and not sufficient funding. • Many companies have nothing to show after spending 100’s of million; This is because they started from the wrong premise – the wrong architecture—the wrong design. • They do not have the luxury of having almost 20 years of R&D with laser projection with the TRW war room laser projectors as a platform.
  • 34. How Does Troyer Understand Laser Projectors? • Troyer designed meta-mix venue (Iowa City) performance, back set, TV studio club • Troyer education: TV production, Film production, Multi-media, Inter Media • Graduate writer’s workshop (Kurt Vonnegut teacher). • Many productions (feature, public TV, commercials, documentaries). • Grand Daddy’s / Rosebud studios were probably first TV studio club world wide. • Public TV Tween show (Cornucopia), Star talent search show, Other TV shows. • One of first music video clips –example for MTV – Fabulous Thunderbirds • Troyer was hired to design studio and staging for Hollywood Palladium. • Goal: design the next step back staging for performance and TV studio venue. • Realistic images-- Wish List: Full color, high resolution, high contrast. • Ability to adjust to curve, dimensional images. • Troyer reviewed projectors on the market and in the labs. • No projector could provide realistic backsets. The GE Telaria had good colors. • Troyer was informed of TRW laser projector for war rooms command and control. • She arranged a demonstration for the TRW laser projector at a lab in Silicon Valley. • Troyer discovered infinite depth of focus: TRW projector image was always in focus (no other displays) She moved white board back and forth (image always focused) • Troyer understood infinite focus attribute was a missing link for 3D displays. • Troyer knew instantly that this attribute was needed for 3D curved back sets.
  • 35. GOAL: Licensing, Assignments, Strategic Partners Deliver Best Projector In Volume • Work with strategic partner vendors. • Volume vendor parts provide favorable projector price. • Stream lining to be globally competitive. • Prepared for volume orders. TECH TV SHAKE UP • ZELF labs attached to the MetaSphere: Jobs, Training, Centers of innovation– provide HIVE platforms based around Z*TV attributes. Provide HIVE platforms for corporate, government, industry clients. • Z*Kit is the computer/ sever – adjusted to application. • Smart Internet TV: Concentrate on best “suitcase” model for home/ gaming/ medical/ scientific/ industry.
  • 36. Troyer: Laser Projection Representative Troyer Represented TRw Laser Projector to the Hollywood Studios Troyer designed for Paramount TV show based on always in focus sets. Al Mirabella (Disney Imagineering) supported introduction to studio theme parks. TRW contract was over and the projectors were mothballed right before Desert Storm. (No room for laser battery backup war rooms -6 floors underground)—SAC, MAC, NORAD. Troyer purchased the 8 projectors. TRW provided boxes of studies, R&D and drawings. Took laser projectors to Los Angeles from Omaha. Hands on experience/ doing many upgrades/ Great feed back and suggestions from studio experts at demonstrations. TRW War Room Command & Control Laser Projector Only laser projector that has been successfully launched: Ran 24/7 for 3 years; 97% up time. Over $500 million invested in R&D. Sold for $360,000 each. TRW used flat screens. TRW did not use the infinite focus aspect ( found it a distraction). Not eye safe -- delivered the laser beams directly out of the lens (flying laser scan). TRW design was not optically efficient. More than 40 optics in the optic train. Z*Tron Vision Patented Process Overcomes These TRW Defects Much Brighter: Streamlined the optic path (under 10 optics instead of 40) Solid state lasers instead of gas; Changed modulation method from Acoustic to reflective light valve. Troyer patent (2001): modulation with reflective light valve (RLV); Laser images eye safe with RLV. Created a larger color spectrum by using deeper nanometer red (over 635 nm,)
  • 37. CAVE DREAM Show natural realistic visuals in curved space. Build realistic immersive environments in real time– the holodeck. Cross fertilization of disciplines to create new paradigms. Z*Tron Vision transforms flat screen reality to curved space --- as dramatic as when talkies replaced silent film and black and white became color.
  • 38. INFINITE SHARPNESS (IF IT IS) Adjusts to the projection media in real time without the need of algorithm manipulation ZTV in real time Fig. 31: interior of a dome—ellipse • Fig. 32: ZTV projects on water, steam, fog, etc. • Fig. 33: Images go through different scrims (always In focus) creating wonderful dimensional realities. Also the image can be seen on each side of a scrim or captured by camera for special effects
  • 39. The display is the computer," says NVidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang, "Anywhere there's a pixel, that's where we want to be." TRW laser projector base for new innovation: MZTV Biography placed on 2002 website Troyer background on 2002 web site Location Based Entertainment with MZTV Kodak laser projector video report
  • 40. ESTIMATED WORTH Licensing, Assignment, Strategic Partners EVALUATORS ACCESS MZTV PATENTS AS “STRONG” Demonstration models show ‘Proof of Concept’ If the business model is handled correctly and the patents are carefully monitored for infringement, a great deal of income can be received from strategic partner licensing and building new companies and sub-companies. NOTE: Industry is frustrated: there are no laser projectors on the Market (Evans & Sutherland mothballed – was not bright and did not have infinite focus). Many companies have placed hundreds of millions into development of laser displays and have failed. Thus, the Industry is waiting in anticipation for the discovery of the long sought solution.
  • 41. MANY COMPANIES ARE WORKING ON LASER PROJECTORS (KODAK DEMONSTRATING LASER PROJECTOR -- TO LICENSE) • IMAX is now investing in a laser company to flood a light valve (not efficient use of laser light and causes ghosting artifacts). • Sony has developed a laser module. Samsung, Mitsubishi, Toshiba and many others are working on laser displays. • The question now in the industry is who will deliver? • Companies license Z*TV (proven as the laser projector solution). • Z*Tron Vision has open architecture patents on the whole projector. • We use reflective light valves that works best for us: DLP, LCOS, and LED. • Licensors receive best laser projector design based on light valve device. • Region/ countries receive the assembled Z*TV and extended platforms. • Often licensors add their applications; Sony who will probably want to assemble their own. • 2010: Develop the licensing and lease model on landscape that exists.
  • 42. Some Licensing Negotiating Areas SUITCASE: stand alone hand held (medical, disaster-security, gaming, home) SIGNAGE: Signage (short and long term lease territory) SPORTS: (circular video score boards for domes, walkway signage, etc.) SIMULATION, ZELF platforms, HIVE (Turnkey) DIGITAL 3D DOME THEATER: MEDICAL, SCIENTIFIC, INSTRUMENTATION, MILITARY, GOVERNMENT Chartered MetaStar Global Network: MetaSphere, MetaSite, etc. MZTV (large): Short term lease for ADS: sports, specials, etc. MZTV Long Term Lease: Wholesale: $250,00; 5 year turnkey lease @ $650,000 MZTV & ZTV short term lease (Panavision and U Haul model).

  • 43. KODAK PATENT PENDING http://www.faqs.org/patents/app/20100007852 LASER ILLUMINATED MICRO-MIRROR PROJECTOR www.kodak.com/go/laserprojection DLP is a micro-mirror (reflective light valve). The 2006 Troyer patent claims cover expanded laser beams spatially modulated by any/ all reflective light valves (claims broadened from liquid crystal light valve) Kodak refers to the Troyer patents in at least 3 of their patents. This is their attempt to write around the Troyer laser projector patents. Kodak uses lasers, keeping the polarization and coherence for their 3D. Kodak presents two channel stereo using the infinite focus attribute. Two channel stereo is a described process in Troyer published white paper: 2005. White paper suggests a better auto stereo approach than two channel glasses 3D. Kodak Prototype model uses claims from Troyer patents • Lasers addressed to a reflective light valve with full colored images (635 nm red or above) for full color spectrum mix. • Infinite sharp infinite depth of focus images by keeping coherence and polarization to screen to create full color dimensional (with depth) images. • Many other claims
  • 44. COMPONENT DESIGN ON TRACK • Apple TV streams video --- A Z*TV curved screen dimensional display. • Small laser projector head • Z*Kit computer engine server/ evolved blue ray/ set top box. • Many are working on boxes, chips, boards, servers, storage/image enhancements. • Streamlined: we chose our off the shelf parts. • Adjusted 3D chip to transfer 3D content for infinite focus. • NVidia offered support as well as others for the honing of the chip. • Streamline virtual labs with expert support to build the Z*TV models. • Cookie cutter and stacked parts (small or larger) same design and material. • All Z*TV models fall under this umbrella except the Pico (miniature world). • Troyer patented process: through working with Symbol-- found new way to approach Pico-- much brighter. • No one has approached the Pico this way -- far better dimensional image. THIS HAS BEEN A BOOTSTRAPPED PROJECT It is time to work with the best strategic partners and bring in the Z*TV models

An Intel VP contacted Troyer about the patented approach with lasers. Intel engineers explored ZTV infinite focus architecture to enhance and simplify the Intel design and make their display more competitive. The Intel CEO decided the lasers were not mature at that point and dropped the 100 million dollar display project. Many were waiting for the Intel display and Intel stock fell. The world market is still waiting for such a display. Finally the lasers are mature. • 2012: Intel has now made a deal with Microvision • http://www.picoprojector-info.com/tags/laser (Pioneer

SONY: ROBERT SOFIA: PRODUCER WHEEL OF FORTUNE AND JEOPARDY Troyer’s former partner with Griffin Group METATRON LLC (Delaware): partners Griffin Group & Metatron Inc.-Troyer’s Co. 1992 - 2002 From: Sofia, Bob [mailto:Bob_Sofia@XXX.sony.com] Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2009 9:55 AM To: Diane Troyer Subject: Laser Projectors Diane, It was a pleasure talking to you yesterday. I am very happy to hear that the production of your Laser Projector is progressing. I greatly appreciate your keeping me in the know. The sooner you can go into production, the sooner I can lease your projectors. Then I can start taking advantage of your projectors capabilities to solve some of my production problems, and give our creative minds a new tool to work with to create new vistas. On a recent remote production at SeaWorld in Orlando with Wheel of Fortune, a laser projector would have been the perfect tool to use to project on two air balloons that we used on the set, as well as onto the two fountains in the background. The solution we came up with was less then ideal, and far more money then I wanted to spend. When dealing with the Art Department and our technicians, there were many times I wished I had the laser technology available to me. I look forward to hearing from you soon, with the good news that I can start renting your laser projectors. Best of Luck, Bob Sofia Coordinating Producer; Technical Supervisor --Wheel of Fortune/Jeopardy! (310) 244-5946; off. (310) 729-6001; cell. (310) 244-0325
