XR will get retina-resolution holograms from VividQ
The 3D deep tech start-up VividQ claims to have made two commercial announcements recently as a consequence of its most recent technical breakthrough, which allows it to produce computer-generated holograms with retina resolution.
Real holograms projected by top-tier 4K display technology were shown by VividQ. The business claims that by producing these retina quality computer-generated holograms, next-generation VR headsets would be able to provide users with previously unheard-of degrees of realism and immersion.
VividQ has shown that these retina quality holograms are shown on a high-performance LCoS display from JVCKENWOOD (JKC), demonstrating how near to market this technology is. According to VividQ, the two businesses will collaborate closely to target a broad variety of AR and VR applications as part of their commercial agreement with JKC.
According to VividQ, their 4K photos demonstrate how holograms may now be rendered with brilliant colour and lifelike resolution. In a variety of virtual, augmented, and mixed reality applications—gaming in particular, where holography will be felt most—the company’s new picture quality milestone is essential. According to VividQ, holography is really no longer a futuristic technology but rather a vital element that is essential to the success of next-generation XR experiences.
According to Yoshio Sonoda, CTO, JKC, holography will completely transform the way that consumers interact with products, especially in the VR space where current innovation isn’t able to provide users with the kind of mind-blowing encounters they require. The firm is excited to collaborate with VividQ and see how their cutting-edge LCoS displays can be applied to additional VR and AR projects.
Aside from the partnership with JKC, VividQ stated that it is in talks to integrate holographic displays into its forthcoming line of products with a well-known worldwide consumer electronics company. According to the business, this corporate collaboration is a significant step for making holography widely available to the general population.
Darran Milne, CEO of VividQ, said the following about the two new business partnerships: A few years back, holographic displays with interactive and lively material were considered the stuff of science fiction dreams. Later, in recent years, it was considered possible, but with low-quality images. The business has consistently taken down the barriers preventing the revolutionary display technology from becoming a reality. By exhibiting retina resolution holograms functioning on readily obtained parts from JKC and confirming that the innovation is already available for purchase, they are proving to consumers that holographic projection is not just feasible but imminent.
VividQ claims that there are three main ways that computer-generated holography enhances the VR and MR user experience: First off, holograms may be calibrated to match the user’s visual acuity, allowing for automatic prescription correction without the need for glasses and minimising the thickness and weight of a headgear; Second, users may play games for longer periods of time by dynamically shifting their attention between digital objects at different distances, which lessens eye strain; Thirdly, users are able to concentrate and approach items closely without experiencing vergence accommodation conflict (VAC), which may cause or exacerbate unpleasant side effects including headaches, nausea, or eye strain.
According to Alfred Newman, Head of Research at VividQ, the team can now generate retinal holograms with complete 3D focus and an enormous field of vision using JKC’s 4K LCoS technology. This allows for the creation of a unique display that, for the very first time, matches the resolution and focus indicators that the eye is accustomed to perceiving, resulting in a more natural viewing session compared to ever before.
