Sensics Releases Results of Global User Survey on Head-Mounted Display Performance
Comprehensive survey reveals universal disappointment with performance of most head-mounted displays, desire for products with wide field-of-view and high resolution.
Baltimore, MD– September 5th, 2007 – Sensics, the panoramic head-mounted display company, released today a comprehensive report examining current and future expectations from head-mounted displays (HMDs), as obtained from a large-scale user survey. Over 200 academic, commercial and government users of virtual reality systems from across the world, expressed their perceptions of current HMD technology as well as desired performance from what they define as “good enough” HMDs. Key survey findings include:
- Most existing HMDs are universally considered not ‘good enough.’ Fewer than 10% of surveyed population considered the commonplace horizontal field of view (50 degrees or lower) and vertical field of view (30 degrees or lower) to be ‘good enough’ for their applications.
- The lack of ‘good enough’ performance is cited as a key reason in not purchasing HMDs even when the need and the budget existed.
- Users consider the most important HMD attributes to be: panoramic field of view (over 100 degrees), large vertical field of view (over 50 degrees), fast dynamic response (no smear or fade effects), high contrast, high resolution and a lightweight design
“This survey reaffirms that we hear time and again from VR professionals: that ‘tunnel vision’ products simply do not deliver the required degree of immersion.” says Yuval Boger, CEO of Sensics. “We are excited to usher in an era of accelerated market growth with our piSight™ line of panoramic, high-resolution, upgradeable HMDs”.
