Historical Stock Chart
From Jan 2020 to Jan 2025
eMagin Corporation (AMEX:EMA), a leader in personal
display systems, today announced availability of a new software
developer's kit (SDK) for game and simulation developers. With the
introduction of the SDK designed for eMagin's award winning Z800
3DVisor(tm), eMagin continues its drive to deliver 3D images in true
stereovision that take gamers "inside" all their favorite titles.
eMagin's SDK will enable game developers to deliver all the
potential punch of their 3D graphics and animations in fast,
flicker-free stereovision, on almost any PC. Developers will also have
access to all the data provided by the 6-degree of freedom headtracker
in the Z800 3DVisor to enable capabilities such as looking around
within a 3D world and walking, crouching, crawling, jumping or
strafing with instinctual head movements rather than just key
commands.
The Z800 3DVisor and SDK are compatible with the Microsoft Windows
XP operating systems. The new SDK supports programming in C, C++, and
.net languages; and it includes sample code for delivering 3D
stereovision and headtracking capabilities, as well as extensive
documentation for developers.
"Gaming has developed into a major industry by making the player's
experience increasingly realistic. Today's games are based on superb
graphics and animation. Now game developers can deliver their creation
in true 3D from almost any gaming PC," said Susan Jones, executive
vice president and chief marketing and strategy officer, eMagin
Corporation. "Any gamer with a Z800 3DVisor will be able to experience
these virtual worlds in big screen, full-surround 3D stereovision."
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 3DVisor's high-speed headtracking
permits that view to move with a user's head movement for 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. Even the stereo sound can
track the head movements for a more realistic virtual reality
experience. 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 is available now for $899 MSRP from
www.3dvisor.com, and from selected distributors and online resellers.
