Researchers reduce VR headset to normal glasses size
It could be Breakthrough in the development of VR technology be. Stanford University researchers have with Nvidia teamed up to create VR glasses that look like regular glasses. They are many times over flatter and more compactr than the usual Virtual Reality Headsets.
Researchers develop ultra-thin VR display
According to the research, a VR display has been developed that 2.5 millimeters significant thinner than those previously available VR headsets. This would significantly improve the wearing comfort of the rather bulky devices.
“A major obstacle to the widespread adoption of VR technology is […] the bulky form factor of existing VR displays and the associated complaints”the researchers comment on their work.
Weighing just once 60 grams would be the small VR glasses significantly lighter than the Meta Quest 2, which at 503 grams can become quite uncomfortable in the long run. And also the announced one Playstation VR2 will be significantly harder. After all, the developers ensure that the wearer is as comfortable as possible with appropriate padding.
A larger field of vision thanks to pancake glasses
the so-called holographic glasses can a full color holographic 3D image generate. Come for the prototype pancake glasses to usewhich allow for the significantly narrower profile.
These glasses are supposed to be one unlimited resolution have and that Field of view up to 200 degrees can expand.
VR headset still has limitations
Unfortunately, the current prototype only has one Field of view of 22.8 degrees. However, this is due to the size of the available SLM and the focal length of the lens.
With appropriate components However, the FOV (Field of View) can be improved. Furthermore, the holographic glasses should also be able to to measure and track the pupil very accurately. This depends on a more developed design.
The glasses presented still look pretty silly at the moment with the long SLMs sticking up. But that could change if a company is found that invested in the concept and driving the development of the Holographis Glasses. Whether and when the minimalist VR glasses available for the end user is still in the stars. However, it should still be some time before gamers with the clunky alternatives preferred have to take.
