I was a young engineer at Polaroid, fresh out of college, and Polavision was one of my first design projects. The small projector, which I designed, was needed to keep the image small because the film was so dense. When we questioned Dr. Land about the new video system from Sony, he would say, what if electronic recording came first, with all its complications and cost, and then someone came along with a much simpler system just requiring a piece of coated film that only needed a swipe of a chemical to create the image. Wouldn’t that be considered a breakthrough?
Edwin was born 5 minutes from me in Bridgeport, CT. He held over 600 patents. I am an inventor and patent holder on mobile. Edwin won the Kodak patent war with Polaroid. And yes, he was Jobs's hero. Edwin is one of mine with da Vinci. Good reporting truth.
