The headsets themselves are an obstacle in the virtual reality industry's quest to provide users with a trulyImmersive experience.
The current virtual reality goggles are cumbersome and large.
It appears that a group of researchers may have come up with a solution. They developed a virtual reality headset that looks like normal glasses.
The "holographic glasses" are a collaboration between researchers and developers. The headset doesn't look like a pair of glasses just yet, and there are two strange-looking holograms on each lens that extend upwards.
If they work remotely as well as the team claims they do in a new paper, these glasses could be a major step towards fully immersed virtual reality.
The paper states that the "holographic glasses" were created using a complex system of pancake lens that allowed for a shorter distance between the screen and headset.
pancake lens have only been able to deliver two-dimensional images, which isn'tImmersive
In a major departure from previous pancakes prototypes, the researchers claim their reworked "flapjack" optics can deliver "full-color 3D holograms" and an impressive 200 degree field view.
These goggles have yet to hit the market or be tested outside of a lab, but they look promising.
We know that there is probably at least one major player out there who has his eye on grabbing a pair. He could buy the entire company.
Researchers have found a way to shrink a virtual reality headset.
Virtual reality is similar to Tripping on Acid.
