LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 15, 2001

OLED-equipped headset prototype featured with Xybernaut MA V

Virtual Vision, Inc., the leader in head-wearable display and optics technology, and a subsidiary of eMagin Corporation (AMEX:EMA), today announced the first public demonstration of its eGlass II Pro (tm) prototype head-wearable display solution in conjunction with Xybernaut (NASDAQ:XYBR), the leading provider of wearable/mobile computing hardware, software and services. Virtual Vision demonstrated the eGlass II Pro's functionality with Xybernaut's Mobile Assistant V (tm) wearable PC in Booth no.5930 at this year's Comdex Fall 2001 being held through November 16 in Las Vegas, NV.

The eGlass II (tm) monocular, head-mounted computer display product line advances the state-of-the-art in microdisplay, electronics, and optics design. It provides an ideal solution for critical applications that require hands-free operation and real-time access to data and information. The eGlass II Pro prototype, featuring eMagin's vivid full-color SVGA organic light emitting diode (OLED) on silicon microdisplay and proprietary optics technology, achieves a clear, color, virtual image equivalent to a 17-inch CRT at 22 inches (translating to a wide 38-degree diagonal field-of-view). It receives SVGA (852 x 600 pixels) analog RGB signals directly from any standard PC graphics controller. An optional NTSC/PAL upscale converter will smoothly upscale TV images to fill the entire screen.

The eGlass II includes stereo headphones and a noise-canceling microphone for voice recognition. Its unique patented visor provides a stable modular system platform, and is conformable to a broad range of head shapes and sizes. Adaptable to a wide variety of users, the headset is wearable on either eye, and the 1-inch eye relief allows eyeglasses to be worn without impediment. The viewing module is mounted on an innovative flexible support for position adjustment. The secure eyeglass style frame includes a sun-shade to reduce sunlight glare. Designed with mobility in mind and weighing less than 4 ounces, the eGlass II is designed for comfortable extended use and portability for today's highly mobile professionals. Power consumption is typically less than 2 Watts to maximize battery life. The headset itself folds for vest pocket storage.

At the Gartner Symposium/ITxpo 2001 held October 8, 2001, Gartner analysts named wearable computers as one of four key emerging technology trends for the next decade and predicted that by 2007, more than 60 percent of the U.S. population aged 15 to 50 will carry or wear a wireless computing and communications device at least six hours a day.
