@stanlarroque Thanks so much, Stan. That means a lot coming from you! I can't wait to hear the reactions from the community on these prototypes. It's the highlight of the year to bring headsets out of the lab!

We're heading to #SIGGRAPH to showcase two new VR prototypes!
Boba 3 features an ultra-wide 180° x 120° FOV in a compact design. Tiramisu offers 3.6x the resolution and 14x the brightness of Quest 3.
I can’t wait to share our research in Vancouver!

@__aaron Yes, this system can create a holographic light field, supporting accurate accommodation and ocular parallax depth cues. See the following figure in the article for more details.

Together with our collaborators at Stanford, I’m proud to share the publication of our latest Nature Photonics article. This paper builds on our past work on Holocake and Waveguide Holography to advance our goal to create VR glasses.

Interested in joining my team at Meta?
I'm excited to hire two new scientists to join my team. We're looking for scientists that can help us invent 'breakthrough' AR glasses, going past the limits of industry-standard waveguides.

A new paper we worked on with Prof. @_FelixHeide_'s group is out now in @NatureComms. This project, led by @_EthanTseng_, continues our program exploring possible architectures for holographic near-eye displays. See Felix's post below for more info

Color Holograms with 64x increased Etendue! We have a new holography paper in @NaturePortfolio with my student at Princeton @_EthanTseng_ leading the effort together @SeungHwanBaek8 and the folks at Meta Research. We expand (that is, increasing the field of view and/or eyebox of holographic near-eye displays to useable ranges) by putting an engineered diffuser in the path of the display. We optimized the phase pattern of a diffractive optical element (shown in the photo below) to allow for even larger expansion factors while retaining similar contrast in the resulting hologram. Paper: light.princeton.edu/publication/ne… Authors: Ethan Tseng, Grace Kuo, Seung-Hwan Baek, Nathan Matsuda, Andrew Maimone, Florian Schiffers, Praneeth Chakravarthula, Qiang Fu, Wolfgang Heidrich, Douglas Lanman, and myself.

I often receive questions about how we might solve vergence-accommodation conflict in glasses-form-factor AR displays. Our new Nature Communications publication provides a potential answer. We show how to combine holographic projectors with waveguides.

I recently presented a Colloquium talk at the College of Optical Sciences (OSC) at the University of Arizona. Having worked with dozens of graduates from OSC, it was an honor to share the work of my Display Systems Research team.

Our two demos at #SIGGRAPH just received three E-Tech awards, including Best in Show. It has been a joy to demo Flamera and Butterscotch Varifocal to hundreds of attendees. Thanks to all the members of DSR, and our partners across Reality Labs, for bringing this all together!

@nathanmatsuda just shared a behind-the-scenes clip of our upcoming Flamera demo at #SIGGRAPH2023. This gives a better view of how thin the headset is, including both the display system and the new light-field camera module.

Meta is showing off Two Research Prototypes at SIGGRAPH
Butterscotch Varifocal: a Human-eye resolution HMD with mechanical varifocal (at 50 degrees FOV)
Flamera: A passthrough focused HMD that uses light field technology to bypass the need for computer reprojection
English
@Azadux Yes, both prototypes will be demoed all week, as part of the Emerging Technologies program. Also, Grace Kuo will be presenting a conference paper on light-field passthrough.

My team at Meta will be demonstrating two new VR/MR prototypes at #SIGGRAPH2023 — you can read about both in our latest blog post. As a VR/MR enthusiast, I’m happy to share these prototypes with our community. See you in LA!

It was a joy to return to #SIGGRAPH2022 to share our first HDR VR prototype with the community. I hope it inspired a few others to focus their talents on creating more visually realistic AR/VR displays. Congrats to the Reality Labs DSR team on offering our first E-Tech demo!
Nathan Matsuda@nathanmatsuda
A big thank you to the 700 or so people who stopped by our HDR VR demo booth at #SIGGRAPH2022 Emerging Technologies - it was great chatting with everyone about dynamic range in virtual reality and going over our prototyping process with people across so many different fields.

I recently recorded a podcast with @boztank (Meta CTO). We discuss my team’s work to develop advanced VR display systems, some of the backstories of our prototypes, and how important partnerships will be to realize our ambitious concepts. open.spotify.com/episode/3k9bCx…

@nchan Thank you so much for taking the time to check out our research in Redmond — hosting you at RLR was something I've been looking forward to for years!
English
@douglaslanman it was a pleasure meeting you and the team, Doug! Appreciate how open you all were about the research and hardware prototyping process!
English
I’m so excited to share this glimpse into our research towards passing the visual Turing test. @nchan covers the latest on varifocal, retinal resolution, distortion, HDR, Holocake, and more. Several prototypes will be shown at SIGGRAPH 2022, including a demo of our HDR headset.

we went up to Reality Labs Research to get exclusive hands-on time with Meta’s newly announced VR headset prototypes! youtu.be/x6AOwDttBsc
