OLED-Based 3DVisor Delivers for Quantum3D Soldier Training Systems
BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Z800 3DVisorsTM from eMagin Corporation (OTCBB:EMAN - News), a leader in OLED microdisplays and virtual imaging technology, continue to enable new simulation and training systems. Attendees at this year’s Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference (I/ITSEC) can visit Quantum3D in Booth 1501 to experience the Z800 3DVisor integrated on Quantum3D’s ExpeditionDITM Un-Tethered, Man-Wearable Immersive Training (MWIT) Platform. I/ITSEC is being held November 26 -29 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla.
Battery powered and equipped with multiple positional trackers and Quantum3D ThermiteTM man-wearable Tactical Visual Computer, which provides high-fidelity realtime graphics to eMagin's Z800 3Dvisor, and available with a range of wireless training weapons, the ExpeditionDI system is an integrated, man-wearable, un-tethered immersive COTS embedded-training platform. The ExpeditionDI allows researchers and training system providers to integrate solutions with a wide variety of software, synthetic environments and toolsets in order to evaluate new training technologies and to deploy training systems for dismounted infantry and first responders.
“eMagin’s Z800 value, in terms of its low-cost, fidelity and performance make it a critical component of ExpeditionDI,” said Ross Smith, president of Quantum3D. “Without each of these key factors, which parallel the value proposition of ExpeditionDI in general, the system would be much less capable, accessible and affordable.”
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. To power all these capabilities, the Z800 requires only a standard USB port and can greatly extend a deployed systems battery life when compared with standard LCD laptop screens.
“Realistic training simulations improve both mission effectiveness and soldier safety,” said Susan Jones, eMagin’s chief marketing officer. “Combined with Quantum3D’s advanced training platform hardware and software, the OLED-equipped Z800 3DVisor can provide an immersive experience to enable the highest levels of operational readiness through training and simulation."
-- OLED - Ideal for Near-Eye Applications
eMagin's OLED microdisplays deliver the resolution, brightness, and speed for a broad range of defense and security applications - at the lowest system power of any near-eye solution. Because OLEDs can switch to different gray level states in microseconds rather than milliseconds, eMagin microdisplays deliver images and information virtually flicker-free in near-eye applications. With the world's lowest power display solution they provide soldiers with critical information for extended periods in harsh environments, ranging from extreme cold to high heat without additional heaters or coolers. Since they emit light in all directions, OLED microdisplays also accommodate a greater range of pupil movement than traditional LCDs, making them ideal for integration with simulation and training systems such as the ExpeditionDI. In addition to training and simulation systems, eMagin OLED and OLED-XL microdisplays are increasingly used in a range of rugged military applications, such as situational awareness and thermal imaging, with other premier military system OEMs – including DRS, Elbit, FLIR Systems, Insight Technology, Nivisys, Northrop Grumman, Rockwell Collins, and Thales.
-- ExpeditionDI – Ideal for Training and Simulation
Quantum3D ExpeditionDI is a COTS, open-architecture, Un-Tethered MWIT and Mission-Rehearsal Platform that is compatible with a wide range of game-engine and conventional simulation and training software and synthetic environments including AIS SVS, ACI IGS, NRI GDIS, Total Immersion RealWorld, America’s Army, Quantum3D LightSpeed, U.S. Army RDECOM SLIM (ESS), U.S. Army RDECOM DAGGERS, and USMC First to Fight. Designed for use in deployed and ad-hoc environments that do not require any specific infrastructure, ExpeditionDI is an integrated system that includes a Quantum3D Thermite Man-Wearable Tactical Visual Computer; M4, M16 or M249 training weapon with Quantum3D patent-pending wireless controller; Blackhawk load bearing vest with cable assemblies and Honeywell hot-swappable Li-ion batteries; helmet with eMagin-based Quantum3D HMD and body/leg, helmet and weapon-mounted Intersense ICS-based positional sensors, transit cases and accessories.
