Mixed reality is expected to be a killer application of 5G networks and trigger a paradigm shift in computing platforms similar to the impact of smartphones a decade ago. Despite the bright future envisioned, existing mixed reality devices often cause dizziness and discomfort and hinder users from experiencing the true joy of mixed reality.
PetaRay, a startup company, was chartered with the mission to deliver the most natural and comfortable experiences for mixed reality by providing industry-leading light field technology. It positions itself as a key enabler of this next-generation computing paradigm.
“The primary cause of dizziness and discomfort associated with existing near-eye displays is the vergence-accommodation conflict,” said Jack Wang, the CEO of PetaRay. “Vergence-accommodation conflict is inevitable for conventional displays with a single fixed focal plane. PetaRay has developed an innovative and elegant solution to solve this problem.”
PetaRay’s solution is called LiFiD, which is delivered in the form of an optical module for near-eye displays. It reproduces the light rays of a scene and projects them directly onto the user’s retinas. The optical module is nicely packaged to offer a compact form factor that is extremely suited to wearable devices. In addition, it can accommodate many different types of glasses and displays.
In addition to projecting light rays directly onto the user’s retinas to resolve the vergence-accommodation conflict, LiFiD has continuous focal planes that allow the display content to match the desired depth of field precisely. No eye tracker or other sensor is needed for projection.
PetaRay has a wide range of expertise ranging from optical design to signal processing. PetaRay Founder Dr. Homer Chen is a renowned multimedia expert who brings his seventeen years of high-tech R&D and management experience in the United States. PetaRay CEO Jack Wang has a strong depth of leadership experience in the electronics industry, having served as the R&D Vice President and Co-Founder of Syntek Semiconductors and Myson Century and as the CEO, Chairman, and Co-Founder of Tenx Technology. PetaRay COO Dr. Jerry Chen was the COO and CFO of Augentix, Inc. and Managing Director of Corporate Development at AsiaInfo Technologies, Inc.
