Stanford University and Nvidia have partnered in research to make VR 'Holographic Glasses' as thin as everyday frames.
Many technology companies are working on improving aspects of VR, including making it more vivid and realistic. Now, new research from Stanford University and Nvidia aims to make headsets easier to wear.
The design remains rudimentary at this point with film ribbons that extended from each lens. However, the teams said this design has many benefits beyond a smaller and thinner VR frame. The “pancake lenses” on the Holographic Glasses prototype in theory allow for an unlimited resolution and a field-of-view of up to 200 degrees.
Overall, it would take a larger company to invest in this concept to bring it to life in a consumer fashion. Meanwhile, brands continue to develop technology for the standard VR and AR headsets. In June, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg showcased technologies for at least four VR headset prototypes the brand is currently working on that might translate into a consumer product later this year.
