eMagin Corporation (AMEX: EMA), a leader in personal display systems, will showcase the increased capabilities of its Z800 3DVisor(tm) and a new pricing structure to bring the 3DVisor to a wider group of gamers at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Booth 6315, Kentia Hall, Los Angeles Convention Center through May 12. Attendees coming to the eMagin booth can go "inside" popular new games with eMagin's Z800 3DVisor, with SVGA resolution and six-degree-of-freedom headtracking in 3D stereovision operating on the latest Dell XPS(tm) 600 gaming machines. On Thursday (10 to 12 a.m.) and Friday (9:30 to 11:30 a.m.) attendees can try their skills along with the Frag Dolls(tm) to take on some devious AI (artificial intelligence) opponents in some of the newest game releases. Building on the momentum of its recent SDK releases, the company is also moving aggressively to make 3D gaming more accessible, lowering the price of the award-winning Z800 3DVisor from its introductory price of $899 to $549. "We're seeing the initial adoption of our SDK by game developers, which has come at a time when we've been able to improve our OLED display production, so the time was right to make this move," said Susan Jones, executive vice president and chief marketing officer, eMagin Corporation. "The release and regular updates to our software developers' kit and collaboration with leading companies highlight our commitment to 3D virtual imaging in general and the gaming market specifically." eMagin has already placed coupons for substantial rebates in two major recent releases from Ubisoft and plans to begin offering games bundled with its Z800 3DVisor. The company is also exploring hardware bundles. eMagin's recent release and regular updates of its new Software Developers' Kit are already seeing use. The addition of full .Net support, along with hooks for 3D imaging and access to the full six-degree motion tracking provided by the headtracker lets game developers create even more realistic, immersive scenarios. Some titles will soon be able to deliver true 3D stereovision on multiple video cards and driver sets. The Z800 3DVisor provides superb 3D stereovision and headtracking for PC gaming, training and simulation, and other applications. At the 2006 Consumer Electronics Show, the Z800 3DVisor won the coveted CEA Innovation of the Year award in the digital display category and a Design and Engineering Innovation Award for the electronic gaming category. The Z800 3DVisor 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 is powered by 2 OLED panels (1.44 million pixels each) with 800 x 600 resolution in 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 and can greatly extend a laptop's battery life when it's used instead of the standard LCD laptop screen. The eMagin Z800 3DVisor and accessories are available for $549 at www.3dvisor.com or www.emagin.com, and at pcmall.com, amazon.com, and through select distributors.
