eMagin Z800 3DVisor ™ Takes ITEC ''Inside'' Simulation Software; OLED-Based VR Visor Delivers for Flight and Soldier Training Systems

Business Wire, May 16, 2006

BELLEVUE, Wash. & LONDON -- Z800 3DVisors from eMagin Corporation (AMEX:EMA), a leader in personal display systems and OLED microdisplays, are enabling new simulation and training systems. Attendees at this year's ITEC Conference and Exhibition (May 16 through 18 in London's ExCel Center) can visit Quantum3D and The Fighter Collection to experience immersive simulations with the 3DVisor and compelling software.

Visitors to both stands will be able to try out innovative software and hardware with eMagin's award-winning Z800 3DVisor. The 3DVisor combines large-screen (105-inch display viewed at 12 ft) 3D graphics and video with highly responsive headtracking for convincingly immersive simulation and training applications. Stereo sound and a noise canceling microphone complete the immersive experience.

The Fighter Collection (ITEC Stand 666) will demonstrate the Z800 3DVisor with "The Battle Simulator," a synthetic environment encompassing air, sea and land operations (www.thebattlesim.com). The Battle Simulator uses the Fighter Collection's Simulation Engine, which is currently integrated into the commercial entertainment software product "Lock On: Modern Air Combat." The company also develops training modules for the military based on this platform, including "Joint Fires" Trainer. This software provides Forward Air Controllers and Forward Observers training in coordinating air and artillery assets onto target. It also simulates cockpit procedure through a virtual "clickable" cockpit and provides mission rehearsal trainer for a rotary-wing aircraft within a synthetic environment, linked to the Simcontrol Ranger 5 helicopter controls.

Quantum3D (ITEC Stand 214) will showcase its Expedition integrating Quantum3D's Thermite (tm) tactical visual computer with eMagin's Z800 3DVisor to provide a simulation and training tool for deployed mission training. The Expedition - a wireless, immersive, self-contained, man-wearable, open-architecture COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) platform - provides deployed troops with embedded training, simulation, and mission rehearsal capabilities.

In addition, the eMagin Z800 3DVisor enables portable, cutting-edge military visual training simulations - so realistic that the Z800 3DVisor has also been used in treating post-traumatic stress disorder in soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.

"Realistic training simulations improve both mission effectiveness and soldier safety," said Susan Jones. "Combined with high quality software and hardware, the Z800 3DVisor can provide the immersive experience that lends simulations that realism."

The ITEC exhibition showcases new defense training and simulation products, techniques, applications and technology.

About the Z800 3DVisor

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 $549 MSRP from www.3dvisor.com or www.emagin.com.
