Expanding the field of view results in a decrease in pixels per degree (ppd), sacrificing image clarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sie-paragraph\">In this study, we propose a new approach to overcome this limitation by combining multiple lenses and displays. Specifically, we achieved a 220-degree wide field of view using two optical lenses. However, this configuration alone results in a low overall resolution of 10 ppd. To address this, we placed a 4K resolution Micro OLED display behind a half-mirror in the center of the field of view, achieving a high resolution of 110 ppd in the central area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sie-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sie-paragraph\">By applying precise calibration and image processing to minimize the visibility of boundaries, we have made it possible to experience a seamless single image. Additionally, we developed a 32K resolution video player and OpenXR runtime, making application development easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sie-paragraph\">This work was performed for research purposes only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sie-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sie-paragraph\">For more details, please refer to the following page: [<a class=\"sie-paragraph\" href=\"https:\/\/dl.acm.org\/doi\/10.1145\/3681755.3688942\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Paper Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"parent":0,"template":"","byline":[248],"research-post-category":[],"class_list":["post-3009031","research-post","type-research-post","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","post-enhancing-panoramic-experience-in-head-mounted-displays"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.0 (Yoast SEO v27.0) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Enhancing Panoramic Experience in Head-Mounted Displays - Sony Interactive Entertainment<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Discover how combining multiple lenses and displays can expand the field of view in VR displays while maintaining image clarity.
