Special product announcement to be made at the VR/AR Global Summit: free availability of the Digital Lens! (Optics)
It is commonly accepted that picture quality and visual fidelity are crucial factors for truly immersive VR experience and for VR adoption in general. Few realize though, that it is limited by optical system constraints rather than display pixel count.
A solution provider exhibiting at the VR/AR Global Summit utilizes eye tracking information to perfectly correct HMD lens aberrations, resulting in twofold increase of visible resolution. It is a pure software component doing a job of a corrective optical element, not adding extra size or weight to the device.
At the VR/AR Global Summit this vendor is announcing the free availability of the Digital Lens in a form of a plugin, allowing the app developers to provide higher picture quality experience to their users immediately without waiting for the technology to be adopted by the HMD OEMs, and to gain additional value from investment in eye tracking hardware.
