What does the world of AR and VR look like? Better
The theme that we want to talk about today is: What kind of world is AR and VR combined?
AR and VR eventually converge
Maybe you are still arguing with someone else about AR and VR, which is the future? In fact, technology leaders and VR/AR practitioners already believe that VR and AR will eventually converge and their combination is the future.
Oculus founder Palmer Luckey once said in an interview with the media: "I think Oculus is in the leading position in VR. AR and VR are unified, and eventually the two will be combined in a more bizarre, newer, and cool way. I think Oculus will seize a good position when AR develops to the level that VR achieves today."
In addition, although HTC Vive currently launched by HTC is a VR device, this does not mean that HTC does not consider the possibility of integrating AR and VR in the future.
At this year's 2016 Computex Taipei International Computer Show, Microsoft delivered a keynote that it allowed other companies to develop on the Windows Holographic system to open the system to other devices, including VR devices.
HTC seems to be the first in this area. Because at this year's Taipei International Computer Show, Microsoft announced the latest VR technology concept demo video: A designer wearing a VR headset, using a somatosensory controller to collaborate with HoloLens companions to develop remote cooperation, together design retail stores Interior decoration program; The introduction of eye-catching is that in this video debut is not Microsoft's own development of VR suite, but is not unknown to the virtual reality player HTC Vive.
Although specific details of the cooperation have not yet been announced, Microsoft’s official spokespersons Terry Myerson and Alex Kipman have confirmed that HoloLens has a technically compatible cooperation program with other VR heads.
In addition, there is news that Google canceled the independent VR plan, because Google is secretly developing a combination of AR and VR equipment.
What is the post-fusion world?
Let's look at the current VR world. The VR device we wear today is a box completely covering people's eyes. Whether it is a stand-alone VR or a VR inserted into a mobile phone, it adopts a totally enclosed design without exception. Even if there is a trace of leakage, it is badly evaluated.
After wearing VR, you will enter into another world that you think is "real". You can visit the prehistoric earth in the inside. You can go to the front to feel the cruelty of the war. You can dive into the deep sea to swim with the sharks. You can watch the Olympic Games at the scene at home.
However, we have not found that from the moment we put on VR devices, we are isolated from the outside world and directly cut off our contact with the outside world. There may be times when we need to go to another world to escape reality and be liberated. However, this evasion should be an occasional need rather than a regular need.
Next we look at the world of AR. Take Google Glass, for example. Google Glass is a compact device equipped with a glass prism. After wearing Google Glass, we can see virtual information superimposed on the real world. Virtual information is simply superimposed on the real world as a complement or enhancement to reality. For example, if you wear an AR device, you will see a new car in reality. At this time, information about the car's specifications, price, and fuel consumption will automatically appear in your sight. While the teacher is teaching in class, you can also see superimposed animal images or videos in reality.
The most important thing is that in AR, virtual information and reality are actually separated. You can distinguish between what is reality and what is virtual information.
After understanding how the AR and VR worlds look like each other, the fusion between the two is better understood. The fusion of VR and AR is to combine the immersiveness of VR and the real experience of confusion into AR. After you wear glasses, the VR scene you see is perfectly integrated with the real world. For example, you can see the imaginary aurora in your living room. You can see Jay sitting in front of you and singing with a microphone. There is a cute jingle cat on your bedside. “Real†to you really believe This virtual information actually happens in your home.
In addition, after VR and AR are combined, we will finally be able to throw away the VR box. I have always felt that it would be quite strange to have the VR box on my face. Do not know how many years later, we look back at the current VR box design, will it be like we are now watching Big Brother?
Research firm Tirias Research believes that eventually VR and AR equipment will become a cover on the eye, that is, it can be a device such as a contact lens or a frame that projects light onto the retina instead of making the image layer visible. Part of the device; the device can also use the camera sensor to scan the local environment, install ultra-low-power processors, can all elements together.
How long does it take for VR and AR fusion?
In fact, there are already examples of integration of AR and VR, such as Microsoft Hololens and Macgic Leap, but in addition to the two companies walking in front, other manufacturers will have to work harder.
Oculus has stated that many VR technologies developed by Oculus can also be used on AR, including head tracking and spatial positioning technology. However, AR requires different display technologies. It needs to superimpose the image layer on the horizon while maintaining The transparency of the background. In addition, mixing virtual objects with real objects requires more sophisticated spatial scanning techniques.
Even Hololens, Microsoft is currently only released for developers and companies, consumer version also needs to wait 5 years.
As mentioned above, although VR and AR currently seem to have their own development, integration is an unavoidable trend in the future. Although VR can perfectly represent a short-term, intense experience, it is not suitable for long-term use because it completely shields the outside world. AR is a way to bring exciting virtual elements to the real world, rather than hard-wired to isolate the real world. Unfortunately, AR immersion is not enough, and users can clearly distinguish between virtual reality and reality. The combination of the two makes it possible to experience both the advantages of VR and AR at the same time. Second, it is also possible to abandon the VR box that looks a bit stupid. Isn't this a better future world?
