A new Apple patent was recently published. It talks about devices, systems and methods
Problem
Everyone knows that virtual reality cancause nausea, sweating, and vomiting. When we use virtual reality, our body does not move, but we move in the virtual world. Visual mismatch may cause discomfort. Virtual reality helmet makers recommend taking them off every half hour or as soon as you feel uncomfortable.
Mismatch of movement in the real and virtual world causes problems. The more movements in the virtual world, the worse we get.
Apple Solution
Apple writes about 3D object processingstereoscopic. To do this, the projection will be created for each eye separately. Typically, virtual reality is created in a 2:1 ratio, and the final result is a video file. With stereoscopic processing there will be two separate videos.
The method of such processing can be usedfor mobile devices, computers and laptops. This will not be easy to achieve, so much work remains to be done. Initially, an Apple patent was filed in 2018, and it was published only now.
Many people really have discomfort whenusing virtual reality helmets. Various design techniques are created to minimize this effect. However, the problem is still not resolved, because our brain is not yet used to the virtual world.
If Apple's new technology solves the problem, it will be a major breakthrough in the world of virtual reality. Now it remains only to wait until the company translates its idea into reality.
