Twenty-four active matrix OLED microdisplays from eMagin
Corporation (AMEX:EMA), a leader in personal display systems and
technologies, are core to Sensics' new panoramic virtual reality
(VR) display system. The piSight (TM) seamlessly tiles 12
microdisplays for each eye with a unique optical system to provide
a complete and unprecedented panoramic virtual reality display with
150 degrees field of view and an effective resolution of 2200 x
1200 pixels per eye. "Until now, the single factor inhibiting
broader adoption of VR has been the technical limitations of
existing display systems," said Larry Brown, president, Sensics.
"eMagin's emissive OLED microdisplays were the most practical
design choice for us because of their size, weight, gamut,
brightness, and contrast. Partnering with eMagin has allowed us to
overcome traditional VR limitations and launch a truly breakthrough
product." The lightweight piSight includes an integrated six-degree
motion tracker for a fully-immersive VR experience. The system is
controlled by a high-performance image generator cluster and aims
at numerous applications including industrial design, training and
simulation, visual analytics and more. The piSight system further
includes an interactive 3D viewer that supports models created by
most commercial CAD packages, and allows for easy porting of
existing applications so that they can take full advantage of its
unique characteristics. "Sensics sets a new standard for VR with
the piSight. Its combination of unique optical design and overall
system integration delivers the high-end VR experience that many
have sought for a long time," said Susan Jones, executive vice
president, eMagin Corporation. "This system provides professionals
with unprecedented freedom of movement and flexibility while
delivering very high resolution for important image detail." About
