VM Labs

VM Labs was an American semiconductor and platform company, founded in 1995 by Richard Miller, a former vice president of Atari Corporation, in Los Altos, Silicon Valley, California. The company developed the NUON media processor technology, which was incorporated into DVD players manufactured by Toshiba, Samsung, and RCA, as well as a set-top box from Motorola. NUON enabled enhanced DVD features and 3D gaming capabilities on consumer DVD hardware. Following the collapse of critical funding after September 11, 2001, VM Labs entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy and was subsequently acquired by Genesis Microchip in February 2002.
