Virtalis and SiliconCore Unveil Groundbreaking Multi-Point of View VR Experience on Fine Pixel Pitch XR Displays
Enterprise VR specialist Virtalis has leveraged SiliconCore’s proprietary LED technology to create the world’s first multi-point of view (MPOV) interactive VR experience on fine pixel pitch XR displays. This innovation will make its debut at ISE 2024, showcased at SiliconCore Booth 5F440, marking a major leap forward in immersive environments. The new solution offers superior image quality, enhanced sustainability, and increased reliability with a longer lifespan, positioning it as a formidable alternative to projection systems.
Virtalis and SiliconCore partnership brings XR to new heights
In collaboration with SiliconCore, Virtalis will demonstrate this new capability using the manufacturer’s cutting-edge XR-ready displays, including 1.9mm XR and soon 1.2mm XR. This multi-point of view solution allows two users to interact in real time, within the same physical space, thanks to an ART tracking system and Volfoni active 3D glasses, which bring complex datasets to life. Instead of the virtual world being limited to a single participant’s perspective, two people can be fully immersed in the virtual environment simultaneously, or one user can be tracked while a wider audience engages with the content from a fixed point of view using active 3D.
This advancement is set to transform workflows for design reviews, simulation, and experiential learning, enabling cross-platform collaboration across multiple displays in real time. The impact is substantial, delivering reductions in time to market, improvements in right-first-time design, and enhanced manufacturing processes, while enabling seamless collaboration throughout the supply chain.
More importantly, this multi-user experience is achieved without the constraints of VR headsets, allowing for greater freedom and collaboration in the physical environment, making it ideal for industries where Immersive Virtual Reality must integrate smoothly with real-world interactions.
Unlocking the power of direct view LED with a 240Hz frame rate
This multi-user experience is made possible by SiliconCore’s 240Hz frame rate on its 1.9mm XR LED display, powered by proprietary Common Cathode driver chip technologies. Each user’s view is aligned with a different frequency, allowing them to explore the same dataset from their unique physical position or interact with entirely different datasets, depending on the use case. The flexibility and precision of this solution open up new possibilities for immersive collaboration.
In addition to the 240Hz frame rate, SiliconCore’s displays offer high brightness, high contrast, and 160-degree viewing angles, which ensure an optimal viewing experience from virtually any position. These features, combined with cool operating temperatures, lead to a longer display lifespan and reduced operating costs, with 20-40% power reduction. This combination of performance and efficiency makes direct view LED a sustainable, cost-effective solution for businesses seeking long-term value from their immersive environments.
Industry-leading innovation from SiliconCore
Eric Li, CEO of SiliconCore Technology, explains the significance of this breakthrough:
“Our unique and patented technologies mean that we are the only LED manufacturer delivering a 240Hz frame rate for 1.9mm and soon for 1.2mm solutions. Our patented Common Cathode driver chip technologies feature fast clock speeds to enable frame rates of 240Hz and a refresh rate of 7680Hz, ensuring uniform colour, defined images, and reduced motion blur.”
As industries such as video production and simulation continue to advance, SiliconCore is focused on providing the highest resolution and performance solutions for XR environments, offering unmatched visual clarity and realism.
Expertise in multi-point of view VR systems
Paul McColl, Systems Product Manager at Virtalis, highlights the complexity involved in creating this multi-point of view VR system:
“There is a great deal of complexity in achieving multiple points of view on fine pixel pitch dvLED displays. When combining two unique stereoscopic views into one system, they must operate at twice the frame rate of a traditional system. This has to be tracked and made visible without ghosting. The combination of the very best LED technology, with tracking from ART, 3D glasses from Volfoni, and our expertise, makes all this possible. It’s something that must be experienced in person.”
The ability to deliver two unique perspectives simultaneously, with no motion blur or ghosting, speaks to the technical sophistication of this solution. The seamless collaboration between Virtalis, SiliconCore, and their technology partners is pushing the boundaries of what Immersive Virtual Reality can achieve.
