BELLEVUE, Wash., Nov. 15, 2005 – Popular flight simulator program “Lock On Modern Air Combat”
is among the first software products to upgrade its software for eMagin Corporation’s (AMEX:EMA)
new Z800 3DVisor.
The software offers improved 3D graphics and settings to take advantage of the 3DVisor’s
3D stereovision and built-in headtracking. “The 3DVisor offers a whole new level of immersion
for flight simulation,” said Jim Mackonochie, of The Fighter Collection’s Military Simulation
Division. “Lock On is known for its combination of stunning graphics advanced flight dynamics
and broad range of flyable aircraft. The 3DVisor amplifies the playing experience, taking
you right into the cockpit and letting you look around instead of scrolling with a joystick
or mouse.”
Lock On is a product of software developer Eagle Dynamics and The Fighter Collection; it
is published and distributed by Ubisoft. The program lets users fly a variety of combat
aircraft in “the most graphically rich, audio-intense game environment ever created for
a combat flight simulator.”
According to Susan Jones, executive vice president and chief marketing officer, eMagin
Corporation, “Our Z800 3DVisor offers a number of features from which game developers can
benefit. It’s great to see games like Lock On starting to take advantage of the Z800’s
3D and headtracking capabilities.”
Built on the eMagin’s proven OLED technology base, the Z800 3DVisor provides full-color,
360-degree, 3D stereovision through its state-of-the-art head tracking and SVGA 3D OLED
microdisplays. With stereo earbuds and a noise-canceling microphone, the 3DVisor enables
multi-player scenarios with “radio contact” or group training scenarios, as well as individual
scenarios. In addition, the Z800 requires only USB power to deliver these capabilities.
The free patch is available to the Lock On community at posted at www.lockon.ru. Frequent
