E&S Digistar 3 Selected by Texas A&M University - Commerce

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, March 28, 2005—Evans & Sutherland Computer Corporation (E&S®) (NASDAQ: ESCC)—After a public competitive bid process, E&S was selected to install Digistar® 3 in the new Science Building currently under construction at Texas A&M University - Commerce. In addition to Digistar 3, E&S will provide a 40-ft planetarium dome, LED cove lighting, a 5.1 channel digital surround sound system, and a Digistar 3 Producer show production system.

The $28 million state-of-the-art facility is the largest construction project in the history of A&M-Commerce. It will also be the first new academic building on campus in nearly 30 years. The facility will be completed in the fall of 2005, and will be available to students and faculty for spring semester 2006.

"I believe this new science building represents the start of a new era when science will expand and move forward to play a prominent role at Texas A&M - Commerce. With its laboratories and new equipment, including Digistar 3, the most advanced digital planetarium system in the world, the new building will benefit both students and faculty and make innovative and interesting science courses possible," said University President Keith McFarland. "With the new research facilities, faculty and students will continue existing projects and initiate new projects that will gain us national recognition in our respective fields."

E&S Digital Theater's Vice President and General Manager, Kirk Johnson said, "This is an exciting opportunity for us. Digistar 3's advanced real-time 3D astronomical capabilities will offer the faculty a powerful set of teaching tools to help their students explore the universe in a way that they have previously only imagined."
