Amalgamated Vision LLC

Laser MEMS Head Mounted Display

Amalgamated Vision is dedicated to the development of ultra near-to-eye, laser-based virtual retinal display. Their proprietary optical technology allows for a low-profile, compact head-mounted display that does not obstruct the primary visual field and projects exceptional image quality within a wide field of view. The technology is suitable for all-day industrial, professional or consumer use. AV offers the first optical solution to enable the inevitable progression to ubiquitous hands-free, wearable mobile displays, first augmenting, then replacing mobile phones and tablets. The technology allows for the long-anticipated emergence of extended reality and spatial computing.

Articulate Labs 

LimbStim

Articulate Labs has developed wearable medical devices that accelerate muscle strengthening and conditioning by augmenting wearer's everyday muscle use with electrical muscle stimulation. By leveraging everyday activity to combat muscle atrophy and inhibition actively, their devices make physical rehabilitation more accessible, convenient and effective. This technology could minimize astronaut's muscle loss during extended space flight, as well as reduce the time astronauts need to spend on muscle conditioning to achieve optimal results.

GTD GmbH 

AR Multimeter

Current electronic testing measurements during embedded software development lack simultaneous multiple real-time measurements with location-specific information. GTD GmbH is presenting a technology demonstrator of an Augmented Reality (AR) solution that addresses this problem. This system, based on the Handheld Augmented Reality (HAR) concept, provides an affordable zero-time installation augmented reality system that blends simultaneously multiple real-time measurements that are displayed where they are measured. With further development, this system could become an alternative to multimeters, oscilloscopes and logic analyzers.

Miles Space Inc. 

ConstantQ - Water-based Plasma Thruster

The patented ConstantQTM thrusters use pulsed electrostatic acceleration and a virtual cathode to create thrust from water vapor. No neutralizer is needed as the exhaust is inherently neutral. The thruster is exceptionally compact (2x smaller than competitors) and power-efficient (10x less power than competitors) without reducing thrust or fuel- efficiency. These features make it poised to disrupt the electric propulsion industry.

SOIL 

Griot

Despite the many technical advances humanity has experienced over time, nearly 1 billion people across the globe still lack access to electricity. Even as we enter into a 5g connected society, only 47% of the world's population has access to the internet. This inhibits the intent for a progressive society - where information can be readily available at any given moment. It also limits the ability to level the playing field for a growing population as we enter into the next industrial revolution. SOIL's product focus is to bring power and connectivity everywhere. By harnessing the power of the sun and looking beyond terrestrial connections here on Earth, SOIL bridges the gap to a sustainable future effectively.

Tevosol

EVOSS

Tevosol is a medical device company developing EVOSSTM (Ex-Vivo Organ Support System), a portable and affordable warm perfusion machine about the size of the cold storage cooler. By presenting a naturally functioning organ for complete evaluation, EVOSS will help surgeons transplant more organs from more donors. The company recently completed a human safety and proof-of-concept trial, salvaging 12 donor lungs from 12 donors– who had been completely ruled out–and completing 12 successful transplants to save 12 lives. In practice, EVOSS centers could double or triple transplants by tapping into the 80% of donor lungs that currently go to waste.
