Facebook and Oculus have actually been attempting to make slimmer and more comfortable VR headsets for a while, but their latest experiment get near the suitable: display screens that are as simple to wear as a set of sunglasses. Facebooks Reality Labs has established a proof-of-concept device that uses holographics with flat films for the optics, leading to displays that are less than 0.35 inches thick– much smaller sized than the usual LCD or OLED shining through glass. This is assisted in part by polarization-based optical folding that moves the light forward and back multiple times, shrinking it well below its original volume.
It must provide a visual upgrade, too. The prototype outputs in black and white, Facebook is guaranteeing a larger color range and more brilliant imagery when the technology is all set. The business likewise intends to improve the resolution to the “limit of human vision” and eliminate noticeable pixels. The field of vision ought to be comparable to existing headsets.
