Description

Both large and small companies are looking at VR with AR passthrough MR. The use of smaller and smaller optics, particularly systems using pancake optics, seems to have accelerated this trend. Everything that works well with Passthrough MR is a major problem to solve in Optical MR and vice versa. This presentation will discuss the optical, display, and human factor issues associated with Optical MR compared to VR with Passthrough MR.

Description

Almalence presents a set of ISP techniques enabling high picture quality beyond optical hardware limitations in VR/AR head-mounted displays by dynamically compensating for the optical system deficiencies specific to the optical path at a given eye position.

Optical hardware design constraints inherent to head-mounted displays compromise the image quality and visual experience in VR/AR. Even the latest-and-greatest devices retain the common flaws spoiling user experience: poor image detail, blur and color fringing outside of the small “sweet spot,” geometry distortion when moving the gaze direction, and low picture resolution of the outer world captured via pass-through cameras.

In the session, we will explore why dynamic optical aberrations correction, distortion correction, and super-resolution algorithms are indispensable to achieving high visual quality in head-mounted displays. We will also see examples of picture quality improvement those computational techniques produce on the highest-end VR displays from Pico, Varjo, and HP.

Description

The DPT pixel is a single microLED emitter whose emission wavelength can be tuned all the way from red to blue and beyond, including white light. This removes the need for ‘RGB’ sub-pixels made from different material systems, and no further colour conversion/filtering or complex stacking architectures are required. DPT enables colour uniformity, eliminates complex fabrication processes, simplifies system design to deliver high-performance microLED displays and optical solutions, offers the most advanced approach to full-colour microLED displays, and brings these advantages to the whole display industry.

Description

The advent of advanced technology and machinery has put workers in a variety of industries at risk of unemployment. In order to solve this problem, we will explain a human assist-based XR solution that helps overcome physical limitations (memory, cognition, vision, etc.) as a human being and coexist with technology, focusing on cases. And I will suggest the direction that XR technology should go forward.

Description

In this session, we will explore the design aspects of BenVision, an accessible AR experience utilizing a Technology-Centered Design approach. We will discuss the integration of Camera Vision and AI in AR and the role of soundscapes in shaping emotions within XR environments. Our speakers will share their expertise in developing an immersive and accessible experience for vision-impaired individuals.

Using BenVision as a case study, we will investigate how the project enhances the world's experiential appreciation for visually impaired individuals through sound. We will cover our approach to effectively conveying object presence using sound in AR glasses and address ambience, musical soundscapes, and spatial audio features. Additionally, we will discuss our methodology for categorizing object characteristics based on sound qualities.

The session will touch on design principles from both UX and audio perspectives, emphasizing best practices for creating accessible XR experiences that promote functionality and emotional connections. Attendees will gain insights into designing for technology and humanity in the ever-evolving landscape of emerging technologies like XR.
