We get a glimpse of what future generations of virtual reality displays from Meta could look like with a trip to Reality Labs Research, where we meet the Display Systems Research team and try on four of their prototype VR headsets that test the limits of resolution, brightness, focus shifting, and form factor. Here are our takeaways from exclusive hands-on time with these research prototypes, and an in-depth interview with Mark Zuckerberg about the future of VR display technology.
“Showing some new prototype VR displays as part of our research to make the metaverse as realistic as the physical world” – Zuckerberg says – “Need to solve challenges with retinal resolution, multiple focal depths, high dynamic range and more — and then fit all that tech into devices lighter / thinner than anything that exists. We have the best teams in the world working on all these problems”.
