eMagin Introduces Gaming Visor Display

Author: by Staff

eMagin Corporation, a virtual imaging technology, is taking gamers "inside" some of today's most popular titles. The Z800 3D Visor is the first personal display system to combine OLED display technology with head-tracking and stereovision. The eMagin Z800 3D Visor provides a view equivalent to a 105-inch screen at twelve feet with 3D capability. Its high-speed head tracker enables full 360-degree virtual-surround viewing. Completing this experience is an integrated audio system with high fidelity ear buds and a built-in noise-canceling microphone. In addition, the Z800 draws its power from any standard USB port with no additional power sources. The Z800 3D Visor also supports PC-based simulation, graphics, design, and personal entertainment programs. It can be used as the primary display or as an extended dual-monitor with a laptop. The Z800 3D Visor is ideal for high-resolution private viewing of DVDs from your computer and viewing proprietary work while traveling or in tight spaces. At the core of the Z800 are a pair of eMagin SVGA 3D OLED microdisplays. These displays deliver high speed, high-resolution (800 X 600 triad picture elements), high-color (>16 million) imagery for near-eye applications. Because OLED materials emit their own light, the displays are thinner and lighter than conventional LCDs, and they require less power, permitting the Z800 to deliver stereovision, head tracking, and hi-fi sound from a USB power source. eMagin's patented 3D OLED displays recognize and deliver left-eye and right-eye stereovision signals with efficiency. Color data is buffered under each pixel site, eliminating flicker and smear.
