A5: Microdisplays: Applications for Virtual Imaging

Bruce Ridley, eMagin Corporation, Hopewell Junction, New York, USA

Microdisplays are much more than tiny versions of flat-panel displays. By opening up the world of virtual imaging, these versatile devices create new and dynamic ways to access and utilize information. Starting with today's near-to-eye applications, such as night-vision goggles and head-mounted displays (HMDs), this seminar will describe the myriad uses for virtual imaging, from immersive virtual reality for simulations and gaming; to augmented vision in industrial, commercial, and medical applications; to mobile personal entertainment; to a look at a future of ubiquitous access to information anywhere, anytime, that forecasts the end of the personal computer as we know it -- a practical and thought provoking look at the next revolution in information display.
