Sensics - Panoramic Head-Mounted Displays


 

Sensics head-mounted displays are compatible with a wide range of VR peripherals, including:

Motion Trackers

Motion trackers are an integral part of most virtual reality systems, tracking the user's movements and changing the images inside the HMD accordingly. With a motion tracker, a head rotation can be immediately translated into the rotation in the virtual world.

There are many types of motion trackers. Three degrees-of-freedom (3DOF) trackers track head movements (yaw, pitch and roll) whereas six degrees-of-freedom (6DOF) trackers also add x, y and z location. While it is typical for the user's head to be tracked, trackers can also follow other body parts (arms, legs) or the location of other objects in the tracking area.

Sensics is compatible with a wide range of trackers from practically all tracker manufacturers including Intersense, Polhemus, WorldViz, ART and others. We can help recommend the best tracker depending on the application and the budgetary requirements.

Eye Trackers

Eye trackers measure the point of gaze, allowing a computer to sense where the user is looking. This information is useful in a variety of contexts such as: 

  • Vision research: understanding where users focus their attention in a given scene
  • User interface navigation : by sensing the user's gaze, a computer can change the information displayed on a screen, bring additional details into attention, etc.
  • Design: by understanding where the user focuses attention, designers can better understand where to place controls and how to best provide feedback to a user.

The Sensics HMD is compatible with eye trackers that can be installed inside the optical cavity, such as those from A-S-L and Arrington Research. Click here for a picture of an Arrington Research tracker installed inside the piSight
