eMagin Extends SDK for Z800 3DVisor Adds .Net Interoperability
April 13 2006 - 7:24AM
Business Wire
eMagin Corporation (AMEX:EMA), a leader in personal display
systems, has released its first planned update to the software
developer's kit (SDK) for its award winning Z800 3DVisor(TM)
available to game and simulation developers. The company also
indicated that they plan to update the SDK with additional features
on a monthly basis. With the additions made available this week,
eMagin's SDK provides developers with support for all languages in
the .Net platform, such as C# and VB.net, and support for multiple
devices simultaneously connected to the game PC. The update
includes electronic documentation with a searchable index for .Net
developers as well as more extensive documentation and code
samples. With these additions, developers will be able deliver 3D
viewing through emerging Internet VR programs as well as support
multiple views. In addition, the SDK enables a broader range of
access to headtracker controls through multiple devices. The game
would effectively gather and respond to data coming from both the
mouse or controller and the head units. In flight simulators, a
"pilot" can scan the horizon from side to side while maintaining
his flight pattern. "We plan to provide updates and additional
features to game developers every four to five weeks," said Susan
Jones, executive vice president and chief marketing officer, eMagin
Corporation. "As developers take advantage of these capabilities,
they can enhance the gaming experience for their players - make the
game more real and let the gamer respond to the action
instinctually - taking them beyond the flat 2D screen and function
keys into a more immersive gaming experience." The Z800 3DVisor and
SDK are compatible with the Microsoft Windows XP operating system.
The SDK is available free for developers who register on the eMagin
website, https://extranet.emagin.com/developer_signup.php. 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 high-speed headtracking enables
full 360-degree viewing, enabling users to look around in the
virtual world just as they would look around the real world.
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 requires only a standard USB
port and can greatly extend a laptop's battery life when it's used
instead of the standard LCD laptop screen. The eMagin Z800 3DVisor
is available now for $899 MSRP from www.3dvisor.com. About eMagin
