nVisor ST50

The nVisor ST50 offers high-fidelity virtual and augmented reality developers and users a head-mounted display with unprecedented performance for a very affordable price. The nVisor ST50 was designed for the US Army’s Research and Development Engineering Command (RDECOM) to support virtual dismounted soldier training programmes. The Army required a lightweight, low-cost, see-through capable HMD that can withstand active daily training exercises for the soldiers. These same characteristics have widespread appeal in many high-performance immersive training and simulation applications. The nVisor ST50 is built around a new Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) microdisplay from EMagin. The microdisplay provides 1280x1024 pixels per eye in a low-power, compact design. The patent-pending eyepieces display the image across a 50° diagonal field-of-view with < 2% distortion, making the see-through compatible optics ideal for professional augmented reality applications that require precision alignment between real and virtual environments. The nVisor ST50 works equally well as a see-through or fully immersive display. A removable cover can be quickly applied to allow users the flexibility to develop both virtual and augmented reality applications using the same HMD. In addition, the nVisor ST50 supports standard motion tracking devices from Intersense, Ascension, Polhemus and others via a tracker platform mounted on the back of the HMD.
