https://www.kitguru.net/tech-news/featured-announcement/james-dawson/panasonic-develops-worlds-first-uhd-hdr-virtual-reality-glasses/ During the Consumer Electronics Event in Las Vegas last week, Panasonic was showing off its idea of what virtual reality headsets should look like in 2020. The company’s VR eyeglasses are the first to feature High Dynamic Range (HDR) and are much more compact compared to what is currently on the market from the likes of Oculus and HTC.
The Panasonic VR glasses are still in development and the devices on show at CES may not represent the finished product. However, they did look pretty impressive and included some innovative new features, such as advanced HDR image processing and high-resolution micro OELD panels, which Panasonic claims are “Screen door effect” free.
With 5G mobile expected to be rolled out across the globe in 2020, a number of new services for VR glasses will be possible. Services such as viewing sports events and virtual travel experiences are expected with the arrival of 5G and these new lightweight and compact VR glasses from Panasonic will be ideal for viewing these new VR experiences.
I have to say that I like the small form factor design of these headsets. Panasonic might have a winner on their hands.
