Michigan Tech's Integrated Microsystems Enterprise has been tapped by Marquette firm V.I.O. Inc. to field-test the POV.1, a small, wearable video camera tailored for the military.

The digital POV.1 (for "point of view") is an offspring of V.I.O.'s earlier Adventure Cam analog video camera systems, long favorites of cyclists, snowboarders and other sporting enthusiasts.
