Business Wire
Z800 3DVisors from eMagin Corporation (AMEX:EMA), a leader in
personal display systems and OLED microdisplays, are enabling new
simulation and training systems. Attendees at this year's ITEC
Conference and Exhibition (May 16 through 18 in London's ExCel
Center) can visit Quantum3D and The Fighter Collection to
experience immersive simulations with the 3DVisor and compelling
software. Visitors to both stands will be able to try out
innovative software and hardware with eMagin's award-winning Z800
3DVisor. The 3DVisor combines large-screen (105-inch display viewed
at 12 ft) 3D graphics and video with highly responsive headtracking
for convincingly immersive simulation and training applications.
Stereo sound and a noise canceling microphone complete the
immersive experience. The Fighter Collection (ITEC Stand 666) will
demonstrate the Z800 3DVisor with "The Battle Simulator," a
synthetic environment encompassing air, sea and land operations
(www.thebattlesim.com). The Battle Simulator uses the Fighter
Collection's Simulation Engine, which is currently integrated into
the commercial entertainment software product "Lock On: Modern Air
Combat." The company also develops training modules for the
military based on this platform, including "Joint Fires" Trainer.
This software provides Forward Air Controllers and Forward
Observers training in coordinating air and artillery assets onto
target. It also simulates cockpit procedure through a virtual
"clickable" cockpit and provides mission rehearsal trainer for a
rotary-wing aircraft within a synthetic environment, linked to the
Simcontrol Ranger 5 helicopter controls. Quantum3D (ITEC Stand 214)
will showcase its Expedition integrating Quantum3D's Thermite (tm)
tactical visual computer with eMagin's Z800 3DVisor to provide a
simulation and training tool for deployed mission training. The
Expedition - a wireless, immersive, self-contained, man-wearable,
open-architecture COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) platform -
provides deployed troops with embedded training, simulation, and
mission rehearsal capabilities. In addition, the eMagin Z800
3DVisor enables portable, cutting-edge military visual training
simulations - so realistic that the Z800 3DVisor has also been used
in treating post-traumatic stress disorder in soldiers returning
from Iraq and Afghanistan. "Realistic training simulations improve
both mission effectiveness and soldier safety," said Susan Jones.
"Combined with high quality software and hardware, the Z800 3DVisor
can provide the immersive experience that lends simulations that
realism." The ITEC exhibition showcases new defense training and
simulation products, techniques, applications and technology. About
the Z800 3DVisor 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's high-speed
headtracking enables 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. To power all these capabilities, the Z800 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 $549 MSRP from
www.3dvisor.com or www.emagin.com. About eMagin Corporation A
leader in OLED technology and personal display systems, eMagin
manufactures and integrates high-resolution OLED microdisplays,
magnifying optics, and systems technologies to create a virtual
image comparable to that of a large computer monitor or a
large-screen television. eMagin's OLED displays have been
incorporated into a variety of near-eye imaging products for
military, industrial, medical, and consumer markets that choose
eMagin's award-winning technology as a core component for their
solutions. eMagin's first personal display system, the Z800
3DVisor, provides superb 3D stereovision and headtracking for PC
gaming, training and simulation, and other applications. It won the
CEA's Best of Innovations award in the digital display category and
won additional recognition in the electronic gaming category.
eMagin's microdisplay manufacturing and R&D operations are
co-located with IBM on its campus in East Fishkill, New York.
System design facilities and sales and marketing are located in
Bellevue, Washington. A sales office is located in Tokyo, Japan.
