In an effort to revolutionize augmented and mixed reality (AR and MR) display systems, Marsupial Holdings has recently unveiled their newest invention; an extended field-of-view near-to-eye wearable display. This technology is set to enhance situational awareness and provide an unprecedented level of realism in the world of AR and MR.
This new technology is the result of a patent that was filed by the company in April 2021. US20230221558A1 describes a display system that provides an extended field-of-view for augmented and mixed reality images. It utilizes multiple displays for each eye, some high-resolution and some low-resolution, to provide a wider view and cueing information for enhanced awareness.
The invention is particularly useful for applications that require an adequate level of realism, such as a first responder's headwear or a military helmet being used in broad daylight. Without the addition of brightness attenuators (e.g., sunshades), conventional AR and MR display systems (e.g., Microsoft HoloLens, Magic Leap One, etc.) cannot be used in direct sunlight. Marsupial Holdings' extended field-of-view near-to-eye wearable display puts an end to that issue.
The technology is sure to revolutionize the way AR and MR are used in the real world. With the addition of the extended field-of-view near-to-eye wearable display, users will be able to experience the virtual world in a more immersive and realistic way. For instance, a military helmet can now be used to its full potential, as the user will be able to gain a better understanding of the environment without having to worry about the brightness of the sun.
Moreover, with the use of high-resolution and low-resolution displays, the user is provided with a wide field-of-view, which allows for enhanced awareness and better visualization of digital images. This will be particularly useful for applications that require situational awareness, such as in the field of first responders. With this technology, first responders will be able to gain a better understanding of their surroundings, which could ultimately lead to better decision making and improved safety.
At this point in time, it is unclear whether or not Marsupial Holdings' patent will come to the market. However, the potential of this technology is undeniable, and it could be a game-changer for the world of AR and MR. If the patent does come to the market, it will revolutionize the way users experience the virtual world.
We can only hope that this technology will become a reality, as it could offer a unique level of realism and enhanced situational awareness. While there is no way to tell whether or not this patent will become a reality, it is safe to say that Marsupial Holdings is at the forefront of AR and MR technology.
