14 DAY TRIAL // eMagin is showcasing its ground-breaking personal display systems - award-winning Z800 3DVisor, new X800 3DVisor, and new iPod-compatible Eyebud 800 - at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) through January 9 in Las Vegas.
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 highly sophisticated motionsensing puts you in the middle of the 3D world of your favorite game. One looks around just as he would in the 'real' world. Now one can play "virtually inside" the games, personally involved in the action. The headtracking system provides movement within a full 360 degrees with a simple turn of the head.
The new X800 3DVisor supports both 2D and 3D games and a full range of design programs without headtracking, so it is rather a large-screen than a portable PC monitor. Ideal for personal entertainment, it can be used as the primary display or as a private monitor with a laptop. The Z800 and X800 3DVisors integrate high-fidelity stereo sound and a built-in noise canceling microphone system to complete the immersive experience.
While the eMagin OLED displays are only 0.59 inch diagonal, the picture they deliver is big - the equivalent of a 105-inch movie screen viewed at 12 feet. The OLED displays provide brilliant, rich colors in full 3D with no flicker and no screen smear. eMagin's patented OLED-on-silicon technology enhances the inherently fast refresh rates of OLED materials with on-chip signal processing and data buffering at each pixel site. Each pixel continuously emits only the colors it is programmed to show.
The new Eyebud 800 personal display system, a monocular wearable display, provides video and sound coming directly from an iPod with video capability, or other portable devices with NTSC/PAL or RGB output. A patented detachable Eyeblocker permits a user to view images from a monocular optic without squinting or to use the Eyebud in a virtual see-through mode, and the system easily accommodates either left-eye or right-eye dominant people. While the iPod delivers a QVGA (320 x 240) video image on its 2.5-inch LCD, the EyeBud 800 display system can provide a full SVGA (800 x 600) video image through its virtual imaging system, permitting its use with PCs and being able to show all the resolution a conventional DVD can output.
The eMagin Z800 3DVisor is available now for $899 MSRP at www.3dvisor.com and through selected distributors. The eMagin X800 3DVisor and the eMagin Eyebud 800 personal display systems will be available later this year at introductory prices of $799 and $599, respectively.
