CrystalEyes and StereoGraphics' emitters are used by scientists and engineers for visualizing complex 3D images in molecular modeling, GIS/mapping, industrial VR (virtual reality), MCAD and medical imaging.
"We continually work to improve the capabilities of our visualization products based on feedback from our users," said Ian Matthew, director of marketing, StereoGraphics Corporation.
"The new improvements to CrystalEyes 3 will enable more hours of continuous use between battery changes and a greater range.

Temperature transmitter used in hazardous areas
Foundation Fieldbus temperature transmitter for hazardous areas is a head mounted device that can be installed into an existing enclosure providing the opportunity for cost savings.
The addition of a wide/narrow I/R switch allows users much more flexibility in positioning emitters." Specifically, the new electronics in CrystalEyes 3 now provide over 800 hours of continuous operation - more than three times the battery life of earlier CrystalEyes 3s.
In addition, CrystalEyes 3 will now sync with a StereoGraphics' emitter at an increased range - at a distance that is 10% farther away from the emitter.
The new black E-2 emitter will replace the current ENT emitter.
While the E-2 has the same range and form factors as the current ENT, it has an additional new WIDE/NARROW I/R spread switch.
This new switch in the back allows users to control the spread of the emitter's I/R signal.
The WIDE setting produces a 130-degree spread of the I/R signal that is reduced to 60 degrees when set to NARROW.
The new switch is particularly useful for customers using stereoscopic workstations in close proximity to one another, as it enables the I/R stereo sync signal to be focused on the customer's particular workstation.
Stereo3D is the use of computer technology to recreate the way we naturally see depth -- stereoscopically.
Stereoscopic viewing describes how we use both eyes, each with a slightly different perspective, to perceive depth and perspective in a physical environment.
Stereo3D delivers the most realistic visual representation possible of complex digital models, giving architects, engineers, scientists, cartographers and medical and graphics professionals the best possible understanding of three-dimensional information and yields levels of technical proficiency not available using a typical 3D view.
System Requirements and Compatibility CrystalEy es 3 and the E-2 emitter work with all stereo-enabled graphics cards and software applications.
It is compatible with all computer operating systems including Linux, UNIX, Windows 2000 and Windows NT workstations.
All leading molecular modeling, GIS/mapping, industrial VR and MCAD software developers support stereoscopic viewing and are compatible with CrystalEyes 3 and the E-2.
Pricing and Availability The new CrystalEyes 3 maintains a suggested list price of $795 (U.S.) while the E-2 carries a suggested list price of $200 (U.S): both products are available immediately.
