San Carlos, CA--The SA-30 head-mounted display (HMD) or head-worn display from SA Photonics, a developer of next-generation HMDs for military and commercial customers, will be unveiled at the Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference (I/ITSEC) in Orlando, FL on December 2nd, 2013. Designed for maximum image quality, with a 20/19 Snellen resolution (0.94 arc-minutes per pixel), the SA-30 has the highest resolution of any commercial HMD.
The SA-30 has a horizontal field of view of 30 degrees and was carefully designed to minimize peripheral obscuration. Users can easily view their surrounding environment, which could include a personal computer, desktop, joysticks/controls or another user, without it being obscured by the HMD device. The WUXGA (1920 x 1200 pixel) OLED microdisplays provide both high resolution and high contrast.
"We're extremely excited to be able to deliver an HMD that surpasses our customers' expectation for image quality," says Michael Browne, General Manager of Vision Products for SA Photonics. "This HMD breaks the 20/20 resolution barrier in a package that is comfortable to wear and view."
The SA-30 can benefit a range of applications, from architectural modeling to virtual prototyping and performing remote medical procedures. Its high-resolution display will enable users to perform the most precise tasks without having to worry about degraded visual performance. The SA-30 can be easily used for simulation and training exercises for a multitude of military and commercial tasks. In addition, the SA-30’s high-resolution, stereoscopic imagery and potential for head tracking makes it a natural display for maximizing telepresence when guiding unmanned vehicles.
SA Photonics will demonstrate the SA-30 in Booth 512 at the I/ITSEC conference in Orlando, FL from December 2-5, 2013. SA Photonics says it has expertise in optical communications, vision systems, ruggedized photonics hardware, optomechanical design, and complex analog and digital engineering for space, marine, avionic, and ground applications. SA Photonics is a recipient of the Small Business Administration’s Tibbetts Award for outstanding success within the SBIR program, and has been named multiple times by both the Deloitte Fast 500 and Inc. 5000 awards programs as one of fastest-growing private companies in North America.
