eMagin 3DVisor an Imaging Solution of the Year.Advanced Imaging Recognizes Z800-Based Chatten's Head-Aimed Remote Viewer BELLEVUE, Wash. -- 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. ), received notification that its Z800 3DVisor, as implemented in Chatten Associates' head-aimed remote viewer (HARV HARV High Alpha Research Vehicle (NASA test plane) HARV High Altitude Research Vehicle HARV High Altitude Reconnaissance Vehicle ), is one of Advanced Imaging's Solutions of the Year. The award recognizes imaging applications that solve "involved problems using sophisticated imaging technology." The Pennsylvania-based Chatten Associates effectively turned eMagin's popular VR display into a controller for remotely driven vehicles -- the kind used to scout dangerous terrain for roadside bombs or perform reconnaissance duties. Chatten Associates believes its HARV brings unmatched tele-operations effectiveness to every remotely operated vehicle Remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs) is the common accepted name for tethered underwater robots in the offshore industry. ROVs are unoccupied, highly maneuverable and operated by a person aboard a vessel. . By providing a compelling level of telepresence Meaning "long distance presence," it refers to videoconferencing applications that feel like a live meeting. Notable features are larger screens that may approach a virtual reality environment and sensors that keep at least one window focused on whomever is speaking at the moment. , HARV creates a several-fold increase in situational awareness and decision speed. Using eMagin's Z800 3DVisor, its head-aimed vision process harnesses the natural visual processing capability of the human mind at an unconscious level. The result is a 3-4x increase in mission effectiveness and tele-robotic productivity. About the Z800 3DVisor The Z800 3DVisor provides superb 3D stereovision and headtracking for PC gaming, training and simulation, and other applications. It delivers a high-color, high-contrast virtual image equivalent to a 105-inch screen viewed at twelve feet, in full-color stereovision. Its high-speed headtracking provides full 360-degree viewing, enabling users to look around and move in the virtual world much like they do in the real world. It features two 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. microdisplays with 800 x 600 resolution in more than 16 million colors. 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 3DVisor requires only a standard USB port. Users can greatly extend their laptop's battery life by using the Z800 instead of the standard LCD laptop screen. At the 2006 Consumer Electronics Show, the Z800 3DVisor won the coveted CEA CEA carcinoembryonic antigen. CEA abbr. carcinoembryonic antigen CEA (Carcinoembryonic antigen) Innovation of the Year award in the digital display category and a Design and Engineering Innovation Award for the electronic gaming category. About eMagin Corporation A leader in OLED microdisplay technology, eMagin integrates high-resolution OLED microdisplays with magnifying optics to deliver virtual images comparable to large-screen computer and television displays in portable, low-power, lightweight personal displays. eMagin microdisplays provide near-eye imagery in a variety of products from military, industrial, medical and consumer OEMs. The company's own Z800 3DVisor provides 3D stereovision and headtracking for PC gaming, training and simulation, immersion therapy, and other applications. eMagin's microdisplay manufacturing and R&D operations are co-located with IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) on its campus in East Fishkill, New York East Fishkill is a town in Dutchess County, New York, United States. The population was 25,589 at the 2000 census. The town name is derived from its formation from Fishkill, NY. The Town of East Fishkill is on the south border of the county. . System design facilities and sales and marketing are located in Bellevue, Washington. |
