Los Angeles - January 4, 2000 - Meridian Holdings has submitted a proposal to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for commercialization of NASA's state-of-the-art Video Image Stabilization and Registration (VISAR) technology and video game biofeedback software technology. Dr. David Hathaway (left) of the Space Sciences Laboratory and Paul Meyer of the Global Hydrology and Climate Center in the computer laboratory where they developed VISAR. - Photo by MSFC Meridian intends to utilize the VISAR technology in various Internet applications to enhance clarity and registration of electronically transmitted photographs and graphics, and the biofeedback technology initially to complement its proprietary technology for use in Internet-based biofeedback, self-regulation training, neuromuscular reeducation, and telemedicine. Additional applications of both technologies are contemplated, with approximately $1 million having been allocated for product development.

Dike, CEO of Meridian Holdings.
