Fascinating concept
VR glasses allow you to dive into the fabulous world. You can look around, but do n’t touch anything. Thanks to "wireless" can change. For a long time, this is the most fascinating method of this kind.
"Wireless" is still a prototype. This concept is attractive and has advantages such as extremely low power consumption. [Source: Wireality]
The path of further development of VR glasses has been clearly marked: the hardware must be lighter, the resolution is better, and the cable must disappear. and then
Even if the VR device shrinks to the size of a contact lens at some point, the problem still exists, you can see and hear the content, but not feel it. No matter when it reaches realistic graphics and resolution, there is still a huge gap between VR and the real world.
Like a new puppet show
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon's Future Interfaces Group now propose a promising method to illustrate how the VR world will be perceived in the future. Idea: A device with a cable on your shoulder is connected to your hands and fingers. If you move slowly in the virtual world, the rope will stop at the correct position so that you can feel the object. After releasing the object, the rope immediately loosened.
You will notice that you can only use rope resistance to feel things indirectly in the VR world. You can find more information in the embedded video. But this is the beginning. The system has also been optimized to achieve the lowest power consumption. However, there is still a long way to go before possible mass production.
Surprisingly cheap
It is still only a prototype, and it is unclear whether gamers and other VR enthusiasts are willing to use this shoulder-mounted device. However, the target price of $ 35 may ignore this.
When comparing concepts with other considerations to make VR practical, the simple, mostly mechanical concept is convincing. Another method is to connect to the neural man-machine interface of the nervous system. For the feeling of VR, you will have to transform into a semi robot. What do you think of "wireless"?
