The most interesting one regards the correlation between the sense of haptics and the other senses perceived by the human body. When you touch an object in VR, you must feel the related haptics, hear an associated sound and see your virtual fingers touching the objects. More info (Latency in haptic gloves) More info (Tasbi).

To mimic the tactile feedback that you experience in real life, you’ll need sensors and haptics all over your body or at least in significant areas, like the face, hands, and feet. The first hardware generation attempting to solve the body feedback problem will likely use full bodysuits with haptic responses aligned to the VR experience.

Simply put, foveated rendering in VR aims to render the highest quality imagery only at the center of your vision where your eye can detect sharp detail, while rendering low quality imagery in the periphery of your vision where your eye is not tuned to pick up high resolution details.

What’s more, the technology comes with tracking solutions for a user’s hands, eyes, and head, to keep them immersed within the space. There’s even the option to use haptic gloves for feedback. Weighing only 400g, the headset ensures reduces head and neck strain, and can be adjusted to fit the shape of each user’s face.

Both solutions feature hand-tracking capabilities for hands-free functionality. However, it’s worth noting the Quest 3 doesn’t offer eye tracking. Meta says inside-out upper body tracking will be implemented into the headset later this year, allowing the system to track more of your arms and torso without additional cameras.

Now AR/VR headsets have near perfect eye-tracking, on-board AI that does object recognition and convincingly speaks to you like a personal assistant. The headset has an eye-tracking based UI that sometimes feels like magic. It’s all great, certainly better than it used to be when the headsets first came out in 2016.

Truly next-gen VR (featuring a fantastic display and very wide FOV, varifocal resolution, eye tracking, haptics controllers, etc…) will take many years to realize. With this new chip, headsets will: Have a resolution of 3K per eye ; Have up to 7 cameras used simultaneously (12 in total for the device).

When you first put it on you’re told to hold the top button, and you feel (and see a visualization of) the lenses moving horizontally to align with your eyes. The eye tracking cameras sense the positions of your pupils and tiny piezoelectric actuators move the lenses into place. And I mean fully. This basic idea isn’t new.

Eye tracking is off by default for privacy reasons, but if you enable it you can open a Fit Adjustment guide that measures your IPD and tells you to adjust the lenses to this value. I tried purposely setting my IPD wrong while eye tracking was activated and the guide often doesn’t appear.
