Making it more vivid and realistic is one of the improvements being worked on by many technology companies. The research aims to make headsets easier to use.
The goal of the device is to have the glasses look like everyday glasses instead of being the large, wrap-around headsets that are currently on the market. The Holographic Glasses is a prototype that can provide a full-color 3D hologram using only 2.5 millimeters of thickness. Researchers compared the prototype to the Metaquest 2.
There are film ribbons that extend from each lens. The teams said that the design has many benefits. An unlimited resolution and a field-of-view of up to 200 degrees can be achieved with the pancake lens on the prototype.
The prototype has a field of view of only 22.8 degrees. The Holographic glasses need to be able to accurately measure and track a user's eye sight, which is dependent on a more developed design.
It would take a larger company to invest in this idea.
There are more details about the project in the research paper.
The standard headsets for virtual reality and augmented reality are still being developed. The Meta brand is currently working on at least four prototypes of a consumer product that could be released later this year, according to the company. The technologies focused on resolving issues around resolution, focal depth, optical distortion, and HDR, with "focal depth" and "retinal resolution" being similar to the goals of the prototypes.
The goal is to account for how eyes might shift away from focus objects in virtual reality. The current specifications of Meta's headsets, such as the Quest 2, could be improved. They are expected to benefit the brand's long-rumored virtual reality headset.
The mixed-reality headset that Apple is rumored to be developing weighs just 150 grams.
