Historical Stock Chart
From Dec 2019 to Dec 2024
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.
