荷兰初创公司发布高分辨率VR设备

A Finnish startup* has developed a VR* headset with resolution so sharp that it claims it’ll be like looking at the world through a pair of human eyes.

Called the VR-1, Varjo launched the top-of-the-range* VR headset with the aim of taking VR technology to the aerospace and automotive sectors. The most widely known VR headsets such as HTC Vive or Oculus have so far mostly made headlines with consumer applications, but with a US$5,995 price tag, Varjo is betting on industrial uses in architecture*, engineering and construction.

The headset has a resolution of over 60 pixels per degree, which the company says is 20 times greater than any other VR headsets currently available.

This is possible due to the VR-1’s bionic* display, which is a 1,920 x 1,080 micro LED* screen with 3,000 pixels per inch. Another outer display is an AMOLED* screen with 1,440 x 1,600 resolution.

When the wearer slips on the VR-1, Varjo says they’ll see their surroundings in stunningly crisp and clear quality, where every detail, shape, contour, text and surface of a design comes into never-before-seen focus.

It’s also fitted with 20/20 eye tracking developed by Varjo’s engineers, which the firm says is “the most advanced and powerful stereo eye-tracking technology ever integrated into a VR headset.”

“VR-1 is for businesses and institutions and is designed to support the most demanding use scenarios where visual fidelity* is paramount,” the company said. Examples include training pilots in realistic virtual scenes, and allowing designers to create and interact with true-to-life VR prototypes, translating into faster turnarounds and massive savings in time, work and modelling and development costs.”(SD-Agencies)
