Webinar Virtual Reality (VR)

Abstract: 

Virtual Reality (VR) is envisaged as one of the next platforms for human computer interaction, with a vast range of potential applications. The features required for an ideal VR headset imply a big challenge to the design of the optics: ultrawide field of view, high resolution, small volume, energy efficiency, and low stray-light are desirable goals to accomplish. This webinar will cover from the description of the present solutions in the market (based on aspheric lenses and polarization “pancake” optics) to the most advanced proposals (freeform, foveated, multichannel, diffractive, holographic), including an introduction to additional challenges to be tackled in next-generation designs.
