Last year Facebook It was a turning point for him. Company, Facebook Connect in 2021 rebranded and all related serviceswith newly established under the umbrella of meta entry. It is also common nowadays Mark Zuckerberg‘s crazy project metaverse came into our lives.
Of course Zuckerberg metaverseVR technologies play a critical role in the realization of the goals it has announced. today’s VR headsets top level 3D visual experienceseven though i still real different from what we see in the world. However, Meta both material as well as spiritual he works hard. Finally, the company VR productsof the showed his prototypes.
Meta showed prototypes of VR products
As we mentioned above, VR headsets have lower resolution than laptops, televisions and phones. In fact, the lenses of the product deteriorate the vision quality of the users after a while. In short, it cannot be used for long periods of time.
Meta continues its efforts to create an imaging system that eliminates such problems in the field of Virtual Reality (VR) and raises the user experience to the next level. This technology, in addition to having an advanced and light screen, offers the user a real world viewing experience even though they are wearing a VR headset.
Meta enters the textile business: Here is the high fashion clothing store
Meta Avatars Store is officially opening. The social media giant will start selling the clothes of luxury brands in the virtual world.
The Visual Turing Test, which has been launched as the highest point you can reach in the concept of image research, has a critical importance. For Metaof Reality Labs in the section Image Systems Research (DSR) team is working on some new technologies to pass the test.
The technologies developed by Meta to pass the Visual Turing Test are as follows;
- “Variable-focus” technology that ensures accurate focusing and provides clear and comfortable vision for long periods of time at arm’s length
- Visual aberration correction to help correct optical aberrations such as warping and color fringing that occur with optical imaging
- Resolution approaching or exceeding 20/20 or 6/6 human vision
- High dynamic range (HDR) imaging technology that expands the range of colour, brightness and contrast in VR
Apart from that, DSR is developing prototypes exploring the forms of the headsets and how to reduce the size, weight and power of existing VR headsets as much as possible to make room for the above elements.
Half Dome Series
DSR developed Half Dome Zero in 2017 in compact form factors. In its successor Half Dome 1, the field of view has increased to 140 degrees, Half Dome 2‘also title optics shrunk and its weight is also 200 grams reduced. With Half Dome 3, they introduced electronic varifocal technology that further reduces the size and weight of the helmet by replacing all the moving mechanical parts of the helmet with liquid crystal lenses.
Visual Distortion Simulator
In VR, as the eye moves, everything in the environment moves and reality is greatly reduced. To overcome this problem, DSR developed a VR visual distortion simulator that combines 3D TV technology with lens emulation software. This system is a general-purpose tool used during DSR’s design phase of lenses before manufacturing them.

starburst

The maximum nits count (HDR unit of measure) in VR was measured in Quest 2 and at 100 nits. However, it should be noted that the prototype in question produces 20 thousand nits of brightness. This makes it one of the brightest HDR displays and few 3D displays ever produced.
Holocake 2
Holocake 2 is the lightest and thinnest VR headset Meta has ever produced. The product was inspired by the original holographic optics prototype. In addition, it is a fully functional headset that can run all PC VR applications so far.
Mirror Lake
Mirror Lake, which has a varifocal and ski goggle-like form integrating all visual technologies developed by DSR in the last seven years, is a new generation imaging system. Of course, as we mentioned above, one of the main goals of the company is Visual Turing Testto pass. Here, we can say that Mirror Lake stands out among potential designs.
