Providing publications, workshops and conferences, it has served technicians and researchers as well as the artist and business community 2002 SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 23, 2002 Exhibit Demonstrates eMagin's OLED (Organic Light Emitting Device, Organic Light Emitting Diode) A thin film light-emitting technology that is expected to compete with LCD and plasma TVs as well as LCD monitors and readouts. Microdisplay Integrated with InterSense's Patented Tracking Technology InterSense, Inc., a market leader in precision motion tracking technology, and eMagin Corporation (AMEX AMEX See: American Stock Exchange :EMA (1) (Enterprise Management Architecture) An earlier strategic plan from Digital for integrating network, system and application management. It provided the operating environment for managing a multi-vendor network. ), the leading developer of active matrix OLED-on-Silicon microdisplays for virtual imaging applications, have teamed to demonstrate an innovative, immersive visualization See virtual reality and CAVE. solution integrating eMagin's high resolution OLED microdisplays and InterSense's advanced headtracking technology. The capabilities of the integrated system will be showcased in a demonstration of Microsoft's Flight Simulator flight simulator, device providing a controlled environment in which a flight trainee can experience conditions approximating those of actual flight. A simulator generally consists of an enclosure housing a working replica of the interior of the cockpit of an 2002 Virtual Cockpit feature at InterSense's booth #15111 at SIGGRAPH 2002, the 29th International Conference on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques, which is being held at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center The Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center is located in downtown San Antonio along the banks of the San Antonio River Walk. The facility is the central component of the city’s successful convention industry. The center, named for the late US congressman Henry B. in San Antonio San Antonio (săn ăntō`nēō, əntōn`), city (1990 pop. 935,933), seat of Bexar co., S central Tex., at the source of the San Antonio River; inc. 1837.

As with a single telescope, distant objects appear magnified, but the binocular has the additional advantage headset was configured using eMagin's full color microdisplays with SVGA (Super VGA) A screen resolution of 800x600 pixels. Third-party vendors extended IBM's VGA display standard and were the first to use the term. SVGA has also referred to 1,024x768 resolutions. See PC display modes. resolution (over 1.3 million color picture elements) integrated with InterSense's InterTrax2 motion tracker. The InterTrax2, the smallest high performance head tracker in the world, is a fraction of the weight and size of earlier products with greatly improved performance for personal visualization and gaming applications on PCs and game consoles. Intertrax2 offers angular tracking with 3 degrees of freedom, exceptional speed and accuracy, zero jitter A flicker or fluctuation in a transmission signal or display image. The term is used in several ways, but it always refers to some offset of time and space from the norm. For example, in a network transmission, jitter would be a bit arriving either ahead or behind a standard clock cycle , high stability and sophisticated attitude compensation algorithms and is compatible with most 3D applications. eMagin's microdisplays are the world's first single-chip color video organic light emitting diode See LED.

"With InterTrax, the physical flexibility in the real world is duplicated in the virtual world where users can look up, down and around through 360 degrees as they explore and interact with their environment," said Dean Wormell, InterSense's Manager of Strategic Partnerships. "The combination of the eMagin microdisplay and the Intersense tracker permit game and simulator systems to be built that are light weight, highly portable, and greatly outperform even very recent expensive and bulky commercial systems." "The type of integrated system demonstrated at SIGGRAPH could be used in a diverse array of military, commercial, and consumer applications ranging from simulation, training, gaming, and new computing applications that are just beginning to be considered," added Susan Jones, eMagin's Chief Marketing and Strategy Officer. "It is exciting to see the creativity of our customers as new applications continue to emerge."
