“Kopin is a leader in wearable headset solutions and I am
excited to join the Company to coordinate Asian operations, expand
its presence in wearable applications such as First Person Viewers
for drones, and commercialize Whisper™ technology,” said Kenny
Cheung. “It is clear that voice is replacing touch, but the quality
of voice interface has not been acceptable. This presents great
opportunities for Kopin’s disruptive Whisper technology and chips
and I look forward to helping address this emerging market.”
“We are very excited to have Kenny join Kopin, as his experience
in running operations with an emphasis in sales and marketing will
greatly assist us in commercializing the technologies we have
developed,” said Dr. John C.C. Fan, President and CEO of Kopin
Corporation. “While Kopin is actively engaged in discussions
with several Tier One companies to develop wearable products, in
particular using our Whisper technology, we could not be more
pleased to have someone of Kenny’s caliber join the organization to
help accelerate our expansion in Asia.”
