"This was a quarter which gave us another design-win in the barcode area,

bringing the total to four so far. We also signed a development contract related

to a top-tier medical device customer and generally made good progress in PoCs

in all market segments. Although the situation for many smartphone OEMs remains

challenging, we are seeing good interest in our solution and progress has been

made. The augmented reality cases we are exploring remain promising, and there

are candidates for additional design-wins this year. From the operational and

organisational perspective, things continue to improve and our overall readiness

is good, although areas for improvement are expected to emerge as we start to

increase production and customer deliveries over time.", said Dr. Øyvind
