Road to VR

SEPTEMBER 8, 2016

It’s too early for Apple to jump into the AR/VR game. In fact, Apple’s patents in this field tell us that the company has been thinking about immersive wearables for a long time; patents filed at least as far back as 2007 show a device that looks much like the VR headsets we see today.

As a side note, I’m so glad we collectively stuck with calling it head-mounted displays, and not something like “VR Helmet”, “VR Glasses”, or any of the other many attempts to call it something else. The games behemoth themselves saw the potential of VR and its use in games, and decided to join the fun.

The HTC Vive is arguably the best out there, but having to buy a souped-up laptop just to run it, paying full price for brief games that feel more like demos, and trailing a huge cable off your head and fumbling to mount trackers on your ceiling…it’s not ideal. Check out the bottom of this post for a list of VR inspiration.

The evolution of Cinema: Peripheral immersion. First, let’s look at a curious phenomenon taking place in world of movie theaters: The need for greater immersion. One image of the composite, is of a new method aimed at getting immersion into conventional Cinemas and Cinema multiplexes. But we’ll get to it in a bit.

One day, we will all regularly consume media through head mounted displays, just as we all watch television today. At the time, DVD players still cost an average of $201, and for an extra hundred bucks, consumers could buy a PS2 and have a game console on top of that. GAMING WILL INCREASINGLY DRIVE ADOPTION.

It was a device that the user sat in-front of while their head was encased on four sides by a screen and they watched any one of five films, which all engaged sight, sound, smell and touch. In 1968, Ivan Sutherland and Bob Sproull created the first head-mounted display (HMD) system for immersive simulation applications.

A step up from an Oculus Go for those that want more power, much better tracking for immersive games and experiences. According to Chris Pruet, Oculus’ Head of Development Engineering, mentioned at GDC 2018, the headset’s thermal design allows the processor to run at higher clock rates than any device he’s seen before.

The idea is that, as soon as we identified VR was coming — this was before the Oculus acquisition by Facebook — it was clear that one part of VR would be computer-generated experiences, games being the major example. We integrated both 3D audio and 3D video because the full immersive experience needs both. That’s still happening.
