Co-inventor of the helmet glasses Oculus VR immersion in virtual reality - Jack McCauley -is developing an improved version . Moreover, he is willing to license the technology free of charge to those who will make a donation to his foundation for charity.
Points of Oculus, as you know, for tracking the head position in space using a small camera and a separate system of photocells and semiconductor lasers on the device. Thus, the user is tied to the workplace and not be able to wander around the room wearing a helmet. Users of Valve's helmet will get more freedom. . The mirror is illuminated by the laser line, the same as in laser levels. In the space of the room creates a kind of shading, which gives the opportunity to determine the movement of the sensors on the helmet with respect to the radiator Valve. This design, according to the inventor, in the "10 generation" The best analogy.
Mr. McCauley actually sold his new idea at a conference of manufacturers of MEMS sensor . The new development is based on MEMS-sensors with micromirrors. It is possible to build positioning system in the helmet and not to resort to the installation of external equipment. Actually, this way work cameras Intel RealSense. They are scanning laser projectors and sensors. McCauley Development may be based on single axis mirror and a laser beam with a linear, two-coordinate and the mirror and a laser beam with a point. But in both cases, the system promises to be easier than it is today.
