The optical pathway is pretty much locked in. LEEP was invented in the 80s, and that's still the optical system used today. Compare the size to NASA's VR system

The optical pathway is pretty much locked in. LEEP was invented in the 80s, and that's still the optical system used today. Compare the size to NASA's VR system from the early 90s. https://images.nasa.gov/details/ARC-1992-AC89-0437-6 https://images.nasa.gov/details/ARC-1992-AC89-0437-6
It's been 30 years of massive improvements to all of the rest of computers, and VR has only shrunk a couple inches. There's not much else we can do to make it smaller.
- outworlder 3y agoI am looking at that picture and to me it definitely looks like way more than a couple of inches.
- veidr 3y agolol, indeed, that is the full monty
- serf 3y agoit's not much different in size than a vision pro or quest 3, it's just kinda un-wieldly. the photo of it sitting in a display case gives a decent sense of scale, I think. http://briteliteimmersive.com/blog/remembering-nasas-view-vr http://briteliteimmersive.com/blog/remembering-nasas-view-vr
- ok_dad 3y agoLook at the bigscreen vr headset!
- rightbyte 3y agoMaybe it doesn't feel like you are staring at your nose as much in NASA's 92 head set?
- sheepscreek 3y agoYes and no. There’s an insane amount of tech in the Vision Pro. Eyesight probably occupies a big chunk. Then there are more sensors than they need. Also the CPU and 100% processing is happening literally strapped to your face. This is like having two 5k displays powered by a mobile device*. * 2 x 5k = 28 million pixels, compared to Vision Pro’s 23 million pixels.
- bsdpufferfish 3y agoThis is like comparing an oscilloscope to the iPhone 15 because they both have a screen.
