Meta Shares Details Of Ultra-Wide FOV & "Hyperrealistic VR" Prototype Headsets
Meta shared more details about its Boba 3 ultra-wide FOV VR & MR research prototypes, as well as a "hyperrealistic VR" prototype called Tiramisu.
One paper is from Display Systems Research (DSR) team. It's called 'Wide Field-of-View Mixed Reality', and presents VR and mixed reality variants of a headset design with ultra-wide field of view in a comparable form factor to today's Quests.
The other paper is from Meta's Optics, Photonics, and Light Systems (OPALS) team, and is called "Hyperrealistic VR: A 90-PPD, 1400-Nit, High-Contrast Headset". OPALS say they've combined above-retinal resolution with high brightness and high contrast for the first time, a combination they claim achieves "a new milestone on how realistic VR experiences can be".
The full papers are set to be published just before SIGGRAPH 2025 next week, the conference where Meta will demo all three headsets to attendees.
