Digital Lens for Better Picture Quality in VR/AR Displays
Having to achieve high resolution, wide field of view, and large eye-box, the VR/AR head-mounted display makers face the challenges impossible to overcome by hardware design alone. Even the latest and greatest head-mounted displays retain the common flaws spoiling user experience: blur and color fringing outside of the small “sweet spot,” picture quality degradation and geometry distortion at wide gaze angles, and a tiny eye box.
To achieve realistic picture quality, optical fidelity, and natural visual experience, it becomes necessary to use advanced image pre-processing techniques beyond the standard geometry warp and channel scaling.
Almalence Digital Lens is a computational solution allowing to correct optical aberrations and distortions in head-mounted displays by utilizing a precise characterization of HMD optical properties along with a patented dynamic aberrations correction algorithm, adjusting on-the-fly to the eye-tracking data.
Demonstrated with Pimax Crystal Wide FoV lenses, see how Almalence dynamic optical aberrations correction delivers a wider field of view without sacrificing image clarity.
Meet us at SPIE Photonics West, AR|VR|MR and BIOS sections on Jan 30 – 31 in San Francisco. In the AR|VR|MR section, we are showing our latest advancements in achieving high image quality in near-eye displays. This includes a live demo of image quality improvement on Pimax Crystal, the highest-resolution VR display. Check our booth […]
