In VR headsets and AR smart glasses, visual quality is determined by how the user experiences the integrated display within the unique viewing parameters of the device. Visual inspection equipment must emulate the near-eye viewing position within AR/VR headsets in order to ensure accurate evaluation of display quality as experienced by the user. Beyond this, the landscape of display technologies, angular fields of view (FOV), resolutions, focus ranges, and hardware form factors continue to diversify. Innovative test equipment and approaches are needed to continue to capture meaningful details as seen from the user’s perspective. Join a Quick Chat with Eric Eisenberg, Optics Development Manager at Radiant Vision Systems, as he discusses challenges in AR/VR visual inspection, recent test methods, and novel optical solutions that apply scientific imaging and lens components to emulate human vision in a broader range of headsets and measurement scenarios.
