According to the description of the introduction video, the prototype of this machine is temporarily called “OLED micro display + low latency HMD system”. It uses a micro OLED display with a resolution of 4K. It is said to be able to achieve high resolution of 4K per eye and 8K for both eyes. .

In the introduction of the actual machine, you can see that this prototype VR head-mounted display is still connected in a wired manner and can be experienced with both hands holding the eyes.

It is also mentioned in the screen demonstration video that in order to reduce the discomfort that often occurs when the VR device is used for a long time, a low-latency system is adopted to shorten the actual delay time (0.01 second) that the viewer feels, and it will be more immersive when used. .

Although the prototype of the “OLED micro-display + low-latency HMD system” can already see the hardware appearance and image effects, it only briefly mentions that it can be used in various fields such as video games, imaging, industrial manufacturing, and medical treatment. It’s just a prototype, so what kind of product it will actually develop is still unknown, but maybe it will become the future PlayStation VR type when there is a chance in the future.
