Prototype Meta Headset Includes Custom Silicon for Photorealistic Avatars on Standalone

Road to VR

Using a combination of on-device sensors—like eye-tracking and mouth-tracking—and AI processing, the system animates a detailed recreation of the user in a realistic way, in real-time. In turn, they also rebuilt the part of the Codec Avatars AI model to take advantage of the chip’s specific architecture.

Meta Will Demo Retinal Varifocal & Light Field Passthrough Prototype Headsets Next Week

Upload VR

It incorporated eye tracking to rapidly mechanically move the displays forward and back to dynamically adjust focus. Each eye gets a separate perspective but the image is focused at a fixed focal distance, usually a few meters away. This, Meta claims, results in passthrough with much lower latency and much fewer artifacts.
