In order to play the virtual reality is not dizzy, someone put a bunch of LED lights

Before the fire, the first enemy of virtual reality manufacturers is dizziness.

Microsoft Research Intern RobertXiao in the study of virtual reality glasses vision in the end can not be close to 180 degrees, he was surprised to find that effectively eliminate watch virtual reality from the contents of dizzy feeling with LED light matrix can cheap.

Oculus Rift DK2 installed 80 LED lights

Zhou, Robert and Microsoft research fellow Hrvoje Benko released research results together. And Robert itself is a doctoral candidate in the direction of human-computer interaction Carnegie Mellon University.

At first, two researchers tested with Oculus Rift DK2. The maximum angle of this device is 90 degrees. They will be arranged around the two part of the LED round lens, a part of the dark areas in other areas.

According to the design of the algorithm, these LED lights along with the virtual reality game or movie lighting effect in real time to change the color and light density. Thus, the actual viewing angle of the Oculus Rift DK2 is extended to 150 degrees.

A wider view does not reduce the sense of vertigo. In addition to its addition to increase the content of the difficulty and cost of production, but also allows users to turn the experience of watching the scene when the film intensifies the feeling of dizziness.

And those flashing LED light matrix simulates the effect of the residual light of the eye, let you put on the virtual reality helmet to play the game is not so dizzy. In the first round of the test, 14 modified Oculus Rift DK2 has more than 11 verified their accidental discovery.

Robert explained, first of all, when you open the game tight virtual reality helmet, attention is always the center of the screen, rather than the other dark place. But in the natural environment, this part is light.

At present, most people believe that the reason for playing a virtual reality game halo, mainly because your brain and body received inconsistent information. LED lamp matrix is to imitate some of the human eye function.

Remove the algorithm behind, this is not a special LED, and billboards are no different. Cheap material selection is precisely because of the human eye on the quality of the light requirements.

In the next round of testing, Robert found that LED lamp matrix if used in augmented reality glasses, such as architects can use the remaining light to observe their location, help to more efficient design.

Currently, Microsoft Research Institute of this technology is not open source, it is not sure to integrate into the HoloLens. Robert in the future will be more inclined to enhance the direction of practical applications, referred to Microsoft's augmented reality hardware.
