EMA Emagin Corp

eMagin Corporation (AMEX:EMA), a leader in personal display systems, today announced availability of a new software developer's kit (SDK) for game and simulation developers. With the introduction of the SDK designed for eMagin's award winning Z800 3DVisor(tm), eMagin continues its drive to deliver 3D images in true stereovision that take gamers "inside" all their favorite titles. eMagin's SDK will enable game developers to deliver all the potential punch of their 3D graphics and animations in fast, flicker-free stereovision, on almost any PC. Developers will also have access to all the data provided by the 6-degree of freedom headtracker in the Z800 3DVisor to enable capabilities such as looking around within a 3D world and walking, crouching, crawling, jumping or strafing with instinctual head movements rather than just key commands. The Z800 3DVisor and SDK are compatible with the Microsoft Windows XP operating systems. The new SDK supports programming in C, C++, and .net languages; and it includes sample code for delivering 3D stereovision and headtracking capabilities, as well as extensive documentation for developers. "Gaming has developed into a major industry by making the player's experience increasingly realistic. Today's games are based on superb graphics and animation. Now game developers can deliver their creation in true 3D from almost any gaming PC," said Susan Jones, executive vice president and chief marketing and strategy officer, eMagin Corporation. "Any gamer with a Z800 3DVisor will be able to experience these virtual worlds in big screen, full-surround 3D stereovision." eMagin's Z800 3DVisor delivers a high-color, high-contrast virtual image equivalent to a 105-inch screen viewed at twelve feet, in full-color stereovision. The Z800 3DVisor's high-speed headtracking permits that view to move with a user's head movement for full 360-degree viewing, enabling users to look around in the virtual world just as they would look around the real world. Completing the near-immersive experience is an integrated, audio system with stereo earbuds and a noise-canceling microphone. Even the stereo sound can track the head movements for a more realistic virtual reality experience. To power all these capabilities, the Z800 3DVisor requires only a standard USB port and can greatly extend a laptop's battery life when it's used instead of the standard LCD laptop screen. The eMagin Z800 3DVisor is available now for $899 MSRP from www.3dvisor.com, and from selected distributors and online resellers.
