Cords can pull you right out of a VR experience and Serious Simulations is going to show us how they can one day be cut! Epson will present their latest Moverio BT300 & BT2000 ARsmart glasses.
Serious Simulations - VR Without the Wires
Serious Simulations, LLC, an innovative provider of human-motion based, mixed and virtual reality training systems is launching a unique product that drastically improves wireless Virtual Reality display performance for high resolution screens. The speed of the Serious Simulations device is such that it takes less than 20 micro-seconds to deliver the first pixel of the wireless image from the GPU to the screen, and actually gains speed during the process. To put the speed concept in layman’s terms, even if video could be delivered as fast as a bolt of lightning, Serious Simulations images are delivered 486 times faster.
Through its patent pending two-step process, the company manipulates simulation/game video streams in the GPU by conducting pre-wireless transmission image processing. By industry standard, the wireless transmissions are sent in landscape mode only, so upon reception by the HMD’s receiver, the Serious Simulations specially designed “reformatter” device re-organizes the pixels on-the-fly for
delivery directly to the display screens. The process works for all high resolution displays such as the LCD, LED, OLED, and AMOLED screens popular in cellular phones and tablets.
Hands on with the Epson Moverio - Lightweight & Affordable Smart Glasses
There's a lot of buzz in AR/VR circles about new hardware players like Microsoft, but few know that Epson has been in the space for the last 5 years honing their craft. It started with the BT100, and now with the upcoming release of the BT300 & BT2000, Epson is signalling an all-in on Smart Glasses. Their device is priced for mass adoption and for developers interested in building AR applications that will be used by many people within an organization (think sporting arenas, museums, enterprises, drone racing etc), the Moverio represents an opportunity to use the Android skills you know on a device that can be easily deployed. This meetup will cover the device's current capabilities, Epson's upcoming BT300 release and current use cases to illustrate how the Moverio can be used today. The talk will be lead by Angelo Stracquatanio, who is an Epson Moverio Evangelist and Co-Founder of Apprentice Field Suite - a AR company focused on Pharma & Biotech Manufacturing and R&D.
