Interesting, while some executives claim all the plaudits for the coming VR mainstream, we are about to see the opening of the massive CES event in Las Vegas. Already there are a number of very interesting haptic platforms on the show floor, but what are the real mainstream advancements?

Comment - This post will also be updated over the coming days with the latest new releases seen on the show floor from Vegas.

Well it looks like Abrush may have to think again!

Presented at CES 2020 as a reference product, the new VR glasses from Panasonic are the world’s first HDR capable UHD VR eyeglasses, with high-quality images and optimal sound and no screen door effect.

Ah.. great the embargo has lifted and we can now discuss this.

Looks like the 'Ideal' HMD, no problems with IPD, not bulky...  I'd like to know more...

So, we get a 20° FOV VR device that doesn't work for any active apps, and fucking toilets? Does no one take VR seriously or what?

You’re meant to use that Panasonic while on the toilet. You silly.

We will hopefully get to the real meat-n-potatoes of the VR / AR stuff in a few hours time after the second and third major embargo lift. Looks like Samsung just showed their AR glasses!

Interesting design - maybe the most interesting things in the photo are the missing things... Controllers? Tracking? Can it run Asgard's Wrath and Stormland? In-ear headphones aren't my favorite. But it looks really lightweight for - maybe - best ever comfort... And the screens are oled ❤️

Main features of the developed product:

(1)  UHD high-quality images device capable of displaying HDR1 images

  •   Equipped with a micro OLED panel co-developed by Kopin Corporation2 and Panasonic
  •   Achieved natural and smooth images without “Screen door effect”, which is a visual artifact of displays, where the fine lines separating pixels become visible in the displayed image

(2)  High-quality sound capable of the reproduction over a wide range of frequencies from ultra-low to high

  •   The adoption of Technics’ original dynamic driver using magnetic fluid allows the accurate stroke of the diaphragm and achieves ultra low distortion reproduction.

(3)  Compact and lightweight body enabling the device to be worn in comfort without the need for a headband

  •   The adoption of an optical module newly developed by Kopin Corporation, 3M Company, and Panasonic allows the display of natural and distortion-free images in super single focus. A compact and lightweight design achieved an eyeglass-like shape.

Def something looking really sharp. Most of the current headsets just have a lot of bulk of plastic. I am sure what allows them to get away with a smaller design though is the lenses

The style reminds me of swimming goggles. This is a really nice form-factor. However, more info required before getting excited. If these are commercial enterprise products for airlines etc then they will most likely be priced quite high.

Someone posted on the HP Reverb refresh on Reddit not long ago and the changes whilst welcome don't seem too exciting other than more cameras for better tracking.
