Before the fire up, virtual reality manufacturer of first enemy is dizzy.
Microsoft research institute's intern RobertXiao perspective on the study of the virtual reality goggles can really close to 180 degrees, he accidentally found cheap LED lighting matrix can effectively eliminate the dizzy feeling watching virtual reality content generation.
Robert and Microsoft research, a senior fellow at Hrvoje Benko released the results together. And Robert itself is also the direction of the human-computer interaction at Carnegie Mellon university doctoral candidate.
At first the two researchers used Oculus Rift DK2 test. The device's largest Angle of 90 degrees. They will arrange a good part of LED lights around the two round lens, part densely in other dark area.
According to the design of the algorithm, the LED light with virtual reality game real-time change color or the lighting effects of the film and the density of the light. As a result, the Oculus Rift DK2 actual viewing Angle was expanded to 150 degrees.
Wider perspective will not reduce vertigo. Instead it in addition to increase the difficulty of the content production and cost, also can let users in turn experience outside the field of vision film increased dizzy feeling.
And those flashing LED lights the effect of matrix to simulate the eye corner, let you wear virtual-reality helmet less dizzy when playing games. The first round of tests, the 14 sets of modified Oculus Rift DK2 in more than 11 verify their surprise.
Robert interpretation, first of all, make sure they skim when you opened the games, virtual reality helmet always focus on the central screen, rather than the other dark places. But in the natural environment, this part is light.
At present, most people would think, is dizzy when virtual reality games, mainly because of your brain and body received inconsistent information. LED lighting matrix is to simulate the function of the part of the human eye.
Remove behind the algorithm, it was not a special LED, and use the billboard is no different. Cheap material selection is also because the human eye corner to delimit no demand.
In the subsequent round of tests, Robert found LED lighting matrix if used augmented reality glasses, such as the architect can use peripheral vision to observe their position, help to design more effectively.
At present, the technology of the Microsoft research was not open source, is not sure will be integrated into the HoloLens. Robert in the future more inclined to the augmented reality application direction, referred to the Microsoft this augmented reality hardware.
