The next generation of VR devices will be holographic

Our Cobalt VR Hardware Development Kit will deliver a revolution for consumers and game developers alike, offering unprecedented levels of quality, immersion and comfort in true 3D.

The next generation of VR devices will be holographic

We have recently published an independent report that explores and evaluates the impact that holography will have on VR gaming from the game maker’s perspective. The report was written by seasoned games industry journalist Will Freeman, and provides insights and perspectives on the challenges that developers currently face with VR, and the extent to which holography could improve the gamer’s experience, and thus the potential of VR itself.

“I concluded that computer-generated holography opens up all kinds of potential for new forms of interaction, increased immersion, greater realism, refined user experiences and interfaces, longer play sessions, and more physically comfortable experiences.”

Current VR devices use 2D displays to create 3D worlds.

Computer-generated holography (CGH) changes all that. Digital content is delivered in real 3D at high resolution, accurately placed at variable focal depths. Plus, you can correct for the user's eyesight in software, eliminating prescription inserts or having to accommodate the user's glasses.

As a result, they have their limitations, which are frequently exposed when consumers want to do anything within arms’ reach or if they spend longer than 30 minutes in a headset.

Computer-generated holography (CGH) changes all that. Digital content is delivered in real 3D at high resolution, accurately placed at variable focal depths. Resulting in an experience that is much more comfortable for consumers, with less nausea and eye strain.

This results in an experience that is much more comfortable for consumers, with less eye strain and fatigue. And because end-users can do more for longer in these digital worlds, game developers are unleashed to bring captivating new experiences to consumers.
