MY LEFT EAR ENJOYED THIS !

[@3DIYshow]

omg thank you for this I only had my right earbud in and was wondering why I could only just barely hear anything 😅

[@WiNNiep00h]

Haha I just put my right earbud in the case for charging^^ I thought it had no battery anymore

[@colin8877]

Full human FOV in a small form factor coming soon, I'm beyond excited. Keep up the gut work guys.

[@KinkyJalepeno]

Dont get excited... Even a 4090 sweats doing a decent job over 2 4k displays.. You are adding 2 more displays to render. Its not just double the workload though, you are increasing the pixel blackmajicfukery by a few orders of magnitude.

[@KinkyJalepeno]

240 degree FOV is way beyond anything thats not a lizard or a bird that has eyes on the sides of its noggin ! Full human ain't going much above 60 degrees either side of your nose end if it was pointing directly 0 degrees North. Just look straight forward and put your arms straight out like a T pose and wriggle ya fingers.. You may have a dim idea something is wriggling somewhere off to the side, but ya wont see any arms. To close to your peripheral vision.

@@KinkyJalepeno *5090*

[@alexanderlozano8004]

Foveated rendering can help with that

[@stevesteve1983]

@@alexanderlozano8004 Yep foveated rendering would sort it out nicely. No need for full resolution across the entire display all the time when our human "sweet spot" means we can't see detail at edges from point of focus...but seeing shapes and movement there which we are sensitive to IRL but in a HMD will be amazing!

[@heartbroken3344]

I’ve been waiting for a progress in terms of FOV for ages, this is finally happening

[@olivercook2589]

Yes seems like we’ve been stuck on binocular FOV for way too long

[@TonyDrecaps]

Finally!

[@danielemorabito2357]

Finally? It will take at least a couple of year before you will be able to see it in consumer vr headset

[@lagillas]

now to wait... 2025 first PCVR with this tech. 2028 fixes around the gaps 2030 first standalone 240º fov 2035 first stand alone 240º fov with decent res, and battery.

[@MkSPR]

Now we will wait a progress in GPU capacities for this screens😅

[@Winter-CIG]

THIS is what I want. I don't care half as much about zero screen door effect as I do about fully immersive FoV.

[@VREmirate]

It's very impressive. The seams between the screens are only barely perceptible. Way less than a typical multi-screen setup. It takes only a moment and you stop noticing. There's possibility of fixed fovaeted rendering for side screens on stanalones. There's no distortion. Basically a big improvement

[@moogleslam]

Between this, Crystal, Bigscreen, and 12K, nice to see some innovation for 2023.

[@KinkyJalepeno]

While I adore, and am happy with the size of the Bigscreen, I mean I have to clap my hands for design and technology.. But I'm still looking through a snorkel mask at best... They just shouted they'd increased FOV with new optics, but it was literally 2 or 3 degrees. If Bigscreen was 130 - 140 FOV with just a standard 5mm jack for headphones, Id throw money at them.

[@KannaKamui]

@@KinkyJalepeno That is misinformation. It went from 93 to 102, glare was reduced and more. Overall, beyond has hit the limits of its form factors physics limitations. Beyond innovated with extreme lightweightness, size and clarity being together. No one has pulled all three of those off at once before. The tech shown here with hypervision is only iteratively new; it is a edit of existing lens tech. The flaw it has is edge distortion, which they made a excuse for with panel size; leaving out the detail that they used a smaller one to not show the distortion at that point, and everyone here glossed over the fact that while you don't hyperfocus at the horizontal edge of your fov eyes wise, the clarity at said point does matter greatly regardless of it. We can perceive the difference in practical tests. The second misleading thing done here, is the lack of facial interface consideration. In here they make you hold it close enough for eyelashes to rub on them. Bit misleading with that part.

[@SheikAshii]

Resolution has been solved by now. I’m glad FOV is being fixed next. Quest 4 please have at least 180FOV!!!

[@BrainstechKnowlogy]

oh woooow! I'm soo excited for this new VR tech. I really wish all new VR headset will also adapt this tech.

[@JayMaverick]

Nevermind human FOV, I'd be happy with stereo audio. 😂

[@mixedrealityTV]

So clever you! :)

[@VFXShawn]

Peripheral vision is the single biggest factor in immersion. More than black levels, pixel density, resolution, frame rate, brightness, heaviness of the display, etc etc. It is the difference between looking at a traditional screen like we have been doing for nearly 100 yaers, and being inside the experience. This is very, very exciting.

[@GL-GildedLining]

140 fov with 40 ppd is dreamy all by itself, but 240 is one heck of a statement piece! Remarkable work! Gifted engineering. One thing crosses my mind: Does this leave any room at all for eye tracking? Let alone the more advanced facial microexpression tracking. Some people just want a fabulously vast sim display, and some people want to be socially immersed in VR Chat and the like.

[@reyluna9332]

This is what I want to make it to the consumer market. I'd also like more vertical display area.

[@daammon8050]

[@-Elaphe-]

Best idea in years as regards VR development! I'm glad these guys are working in the most underrated and forgotten aspect of VR headsets: FOV, which is 90% responsible for inmersion and therefore for a realistic experience.

[@nervaproject]

So you made the video 5 months ago (about half a year), and he says we will see it in VR headsets on the market in 2 years... so I guess we will see this in VR headsets in about a year and a half...wow. Very exciting. I've been so disappointed with how there has been no progress in FOV for any of the more mainstream VR headsets for so very long.... so it is nice to see this prototype!

[@Qubot]

This is simply amazing! He said to expect this in a couple years. I think sooner if some of the bigger companies (you listening Meta?) show interest. Thanks again Seb. and Marcos! You are the best!

[@dtrjones]

Meta will be aware of this, but it's not there thing to produce a PC headset. and unless they borrow the M2 chip from Apple, it's very unlikely to appear in the standalone Quest Pro either. They would need to start a new line of premium headsets which has about as much chance as me winning the lottery.

[@kaecatlady]

@@dtrjones, honestly, I'm okay with that. Meta's habit of turning more open-sourced companies into Meta-only... well, we already have way too much of that in VR right now.

[@joe96734]

Yea same here..I thought something was wrong lol

[@matthewdh123]

I was thinking about the curved displays or folding ones as well. I figured it would be easier on the GPU to process 2 images rather than 4. But they may have it all setup in programming in the head set it self to take the 2 images and route a portion of each to the 3rd and 4th displays. That would make it to where it shouldn't affect GPU performance. Easier said than done I imagine.

[@samuraijutsu8876]

Looking forward to that. I always felt that the peripheral problem with VR was stifling the immersive experience.

[@aboucard93]

[@r.m8146]

I wonder if these lens can be used with adjustable IPD setup

[@ConservativeJuggaloPodcast]

Why wouldn't they be? This is just a prototype, whoever they sell them to can make that decision

[@dennisrichards2540]

Ive been banging on about FOV since the launch of the quest 2. my Vive I bought in 2016 has 110 degree fov and it raged me when the quest 2 came out with barly 90 degree fov. I'll not getting another headset now unless I see a decent improvment in FOV. sure id love the see these lenses become the standard but I cant see this company making enough to make differance on their own, I hope their propriatary lens technology is licenced out to other manufacturers so companies can actually get them into their headsets.

Seems like yesterday Palmer Luckey started touting a new, actual road to real vr with oculus vr. That was ~2014. It has come a long way, but has a long way to go. For me, its probably still another 10 years away before it is actually feasible.

[@paulbuswell6566]

Going to be great for sim racing. My only worry is the hardware needed to run at native res. I run a G2 with a 3080 and have to be careful with my settings. These are going to have a lot of pixels to push

[@SalvatoreIovene]

Not necessarily. With foveated rendering, you don't need to render full resolution at the edges of the FOV. It can be quite blocky and you wouldn't know.

[@WujiKami]

This is incredible the next generation of VR headsets will be insane. I expect one of the two new headsets Lynx is working on will use this technology.

[@coolerplays3477]

The fact that many companies are realizing the potential for VR and even AR in general, it's now becoming a consumer product. More companies and investors will always equal a better product with competition. Especially with Apple's new VR being just around the corner, it's been in development from around 8 years and yet just maybe we'll get news on it this Monday at the WWDC. People can hate or love Apple but if they release a VR product I almost guarantee it'll be revolutionary just like the smart phones, even if it's an insane price like $3000 it's going to eventually get cheaper and there'll be more competition making similar products.

[@Whatsup_Abroad]

It's also scary, if the apple headset flops....then the entire industry might die.

[@r.m8146]

@@adrenalinejunkie3828 He could indeed even triple the price, but for us average consumers, the production cost is what matters most.
