Watching a video on a virtual reality device is an amazing but sold-out isolation experience. Facebook is now trying to reduce loneliness. His research laboratory also developed a method for projecting VR headset eyes on the 3D screen in front of the device so that people and objects could see it in a virtual world. The concept of “reverse pass” allows people to make eye contact with VR headset carriers. Although the Facebook project is experimental, it looks scary to see blisters on the device’s 3D screen.
Facebook says the idea is to ensure “social cohesion” between people who cannot or will not participate in a virtual or real experience. Linn In 2019, Michael Abrash, chief scientist at the Facebook Research Laboratory, described the first idea as “brilliant” and said researchers had been working for two years to develop the technology.
“The device features a range of purpose-built optics, electronics, software, and a number of support technologies to capture and display real-time technologies,” the Facebook Research Laboratory said in a blog post.
When the VR headset carrier decides to see the real world, the display creates a pattern that makes them believe the other person through a pair of thick lenses. If the owner returns to full VR, the display will be empty, signaling that it will no longer be associated with people in the real world.
In a short video on Facebook, the social media giant showed off the experimental technology with three people wearing headphones in three stages of development.
However, the study is still experimental. Connected with multiple cables, the headset is remote, and the facial expressions are not yet fully alive.
The research lab plans to present the concept at computer graphics this year at the SIGGRAPH Annual Conference.
