Technology giant Meta’s Reality Labs division has unveiled new prototypes on its roadmap to lightweight, surreal virtual reality graphics.
The discoveries are far from ready for the consumer, but the designs, codenamed Butterscotch, Starburst, Holocake 2 and Mirror Lake, could be a slim, brightly lit headset that supports finer detail than the current screen. Quest 2, reports The Verge. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Reality Labs chief scientist Michael Abrash, along with other Reality Labs members, presented their work at a virtual round table last week.
The event focused on what Meta refers to as “time machines”: massive proofs of the idea intended to test a particular feature, such as an extremely bright backlight or an extremely high-resolution screen.
“I think we are in the middle right now for a big step towards realism,” Zuckerberg was quoted as saying.
“I do not think it will be long before we can create scenes with basically perfect fidelity,” he added.
Zuckerberg reiterated plans to ship a high-tech handset codenamed Project Cambria in 2022, following his initial announcement last year.
Cambria supports full virtual reality as well as augmented reality, thanks to high-resolution cameras that can stream video to an internal monitor.
It will also be released with eye-tracking, a key feature for future Meta headphones.
