continued from cover
The licensing agreement between High

planned. WWG is the originator of the Orbital
Mirror Head which was instrumental to the
HES Catalyst in the beginning. Richard Belliveau,
chief technology officer for HES, says,
“WWG is a truly innovative source of inventive
creativity in the lighting industry. The relationship
between WWG and HES has been instrumental
in the development of HES digital
lighting products. We are pleased to form the
licensing agreement with WWG.”
Peter Wynne Willson of WWG says, “The
hard and soft engineering of the HES digital
products is exemplary. Richard Belliveau and
his team have made a fabulous job of bringing
our Catalyst project to market. WWG has
learned much from HES en route to concluding
this licensing agreement.”

them a beachhead from which they increased
both the sophistication and the
sales of a growing number of products
aimed at such markets.
These “Phase Three” fixtures soon
dwarfed the inventories of the “Phase Two”
players—and with a dramatic effect on the
latter’s businesses.
Whatever the direction of its future,
thirty-five years later, automated lighting
has changed many of our professional
lives. Along the way, it has enriched the
entertainment experiences for hundreds
of millions of people.
