With the passage of time and his appearance in more terminals, virtual reality shows its capacity for adaptation to the public. We frequently assist the arrival of news related to it that a tourist van focused on inclusion in new devices either tablets or smartphones, or on peripherals and other elements that contribute to improve it. However, while in question of months is has implanted with force, and while is being an of them bazas used by them signatures to offer something different and novel, it true is that still there are some aspects pending of correct to offer an experience truthful.
In an attempt to correct some of the existing shortcomings and with an eye on the future benefits giving with your coming to more devices, two of the largest companies in the world, Samsung and Google, are moving more in the inclusion of this technology. Then you have more about them projects that currently are developing is both in Seoul as in Mountain View and you say what are their aspects more outstanding, its shortcomings and also, when could see them of way definitive in them terminals that use to daily.
Project Dream
We started talking about the initiative undertaken by the South Korean firm. Project Dream, could be the dominant note in the terminals which release the brand from 2017. According to Phonearena, would combine the reality virtual with resolutions 4 K on the screens of the future devices. On the other hand, this experiment also would be linked to a greater inclusion of the glasses developed by Samsung, the Gear VR.
What is the main advantage of Dream? We would see the main advance in a more realistic experience attained by the side of virtual reality. In the field of image quality, it would result in the arrival of a resolution that we are already seeing in other media such as television. However, there are several unknowns. First, when we could see it implanted permanently and in which models. The second derivative on the creation of a few terminals that should have an very powerful processors and batteries capable of supporting tasks that require a lot of resources.
The initiative of the of Mountain View
With Cardboard, those of Google have tried bringing virtual reality to the public. However, there are some shortcomings as for example, a number of applications reduced in its catalog that is compatible with this format. To try to correct this problem, the popular Finder has decided support is in Android N, its new software and that will see the light in some weeks. Among the features of this interface, that you’ve been revealing over recent months, virtual reality has a major weight thanks to Daydream.
In what is based this initiative? The advances in this technology we’ll see by Google will have two fronts: on the one hand, the creation of an exclusive section containing all supported apps with virtual reality, and on the other, the marketing of a command which would further improve the achieved experience with goggles that already went on sale earlier. However, this will not be within the reach of everyone since there are a number of requirements in the terminals.
Daydream only will be available for those systems operating more current, expected only in Android N of time. On the other hand, those devices will have that count with sensors specific in matter of image capable of offer an experience sharp but also fast without closures unexpected or freezes. He is expected to land in October at least in versions of tests.
What other obstacles could find?
While virtual reality is coming at high speed to terminals belonging to all the ranges, the truth is that a high power devices, as well as a long-lasting battery is required. This not has only a cost in the speed of execution of the applications and games suitable as mentioned before, but also, in the price end of them different models, that for some, can be high.
As you have seen, the manufacturers are trying to perfect this technology in order to make it more attractive to users. However, the improvement of the same is not something that should be isolated, but it requires an improvement of the General characteristics of the devices. On the other hand, the economic factor is key, since in the majority of cases, the public looks for devices that offer the best relationship between quality and price with specifications that until a few years ago were unthinkable. After learning more about the work of Google and Samsung in the field of augmented reality, do you think that in the short term they can set a new precedent and that they will mark the lines that continue to other companies in the short term, or however, believe that there is still much to be done in this area?
You have available more information as for example Project Tango, another initiative carried out by Google, so you can say to yourselves.
