eMagin 3DVisor Brings Simulation To Life at I/ITSEC; 3D and Headtracking Provide Depth and Scope for Simulations

Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education
Conference 2005
Booth 2371

ORLANDO, Fla. & BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 29, 2005--eMagin Corporation (AMEX:EMA), a leader in virtual imaging technology, is showcasing its Z800 3DVisor for simulation and training applications in Booth 2371 at the Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference (I/ITSEC) through December 1 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla. eMagin's Z800 3DVisor and other eMagin-equipped products are also being featured at NETC's (Naval Education and Training Command) Booth 1244, General Dynamics' Booth 2237, Army RDECOM's (Research, Development and Engineering Command) Booth 1700, Quantum 3D's Booth 1873, and Rockwell Collins Optronics' Booth 2359.

eMagin's award-winning Z800 3DVisor provides the technology to deliver the full-surround 3D environment for effective simulations in a lightweight, low-power, wearable display. The Z800 3DVisor provides a high-color, high-contrast virtual image equivalent to a 105-inch screen viewed at twelve feet, in full-color stereovision. The 3DVisor's high-speed headtracking enables 360-degree viewing. Completing the experience is an integrated, audio system with stereo earbuds and a built-in, noise-canceling microphone. To power all these capabilities, the 3DVisor requires only a standard USB port. Turning off the laptop's LCD and using the 3DVisor instead can greatly extend its battery life.

"We designed the Z800 3DVisor to deliver the most convincing possible experience of virtual environments," said Susan Jones, chief marketing and strategy officer, eMagin Corporation. "That's why leaders in military simulation and training, like General Dynamics, Quantum3D, and others have chosen it to deliver embedded training capabilities to the US Armed Services. That's also why the 3DVisor is also so effective for treating a wide range of trauma and stress-induced disorders through exposure to virtual environments."

In addition to the Z800 3DVisor and its rugged, low-power OLED microdisplays and microdisplay modules, eMagin is demonstrating at its booth a range of prominent OLED-based commercial products for simulation and training, as well as other military applications.

-- Quantum3D's Thermite(TM) tactical visual computer employs delivers the high quality video signal to make eMagin's Z800 3DVisor into a wearable, embedded-training platform. The combination is the heart of Quantum3D's Expedition(TM) system, the company's wireless, immersive, self-contained, man-wearable, open-architecture COTS platform. (www.quantum3d.com)

-- Virtually Better's Virtual Iraq provides exposure therapy for anxiety disorders resulting from extended exposure the high-stress environment soldiers face during their service there. The therapy involves exposing the patient to a virtual environment containing the feared situation. The virtual environment is controlled by the therapist through a computer keyboard ensuring full control of the exposure to the programmed situations. (www.virtuallybetter.com)

-- Rockwell Collins Optronics' full-color SO-35 monocular viewer, developed for the Land Warrior Program, is a multi-purpose device, capable of providing thermal sighting and situational awareness. The system recently won a competitive test conducted by General Dynamics for the Mounted Warrior Program as well. Rockwell Collins is also demonstrating the system in its booth (2359).

-- Liteye Systems' (www.liteye.com) LE-450 full-color viewer and the LE-500 see-through viewer bring virtual imaging to customers in Europe and North America.

-- Total Fire Group's (www.totalfiregroup.com) Fire-Warrior micro thermal imaging system, a helmet-based unit provides hands-free thermal imaging for firefighters, leaving both hands free for the work of fighting while providing critical visual information.

OLED - Ideal for Near-Eye Applications

Owing to the inherent benefits of OLED technology, eMagin's microdisplays deliver the resolution, brightness, and speed for a broad range of defense and security applications - at the lowest system power of any near-eye solution. Because OLEDs can switch to different gray level states in microseconds rather than milliseconds, eMagin microdisplays deliver images and information virtually flicker-free in near-eye applications. With the world's lowest power display solution they provide soldiers with critical information for extended periods in harsh environments, ranging from extreme cold to high heat without additional heaters or coolers. Since they emit light in all directions, OLED microdisplays also accommodate a greater range of pupil movement than traditional LCDs.

About eMagin Corporation

A leader in OLED microdisplay and virtual imaging technologies, eMagin integrates high-resolution OLED microdisplays, magnifying optics, and systems technologies to create a virtual image that appears comparable to that of a computer monitor or a large-screen television. eMagin's OLED displays have broad market reach and are incorporated into a variety of near-to-eye imaging products by military, industrial, medical and consumer OEMs who choose eMagin's award-winning technology as a core component for their solutions. eMagin has recently introduced its first direct-to-consumer system, the Z800 3DVisor, which provides superb 3D stereovision and headtracking for PC gaming, training and simulation, and business applications. 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.
