Hi, we want to design an application to remote control a robot. The robot will have 2 cameras (next to each other, like eyes) that can turn into any direction. The robot shall be remote controlled by a virtual reality headgear. I have found the VFX1 and the VFX3D (What's the difference?) from Forte technologies. Do you know any other Manufacturers? How exactly does the headgear work? We will be running Linux. How dow we display the picture of the right camara on the right display of the headgear an the other on the left (how do you display a stereo picture through stadard vga)? Are there drivers for linux? Thanks a lot Eddy | ||

In answer to your question about whether there are other manufacturers, click on the "VR helmets" link on the main page of this site. You'll find a comparison chart with a ton of VR headsets listed, plus some links to reviews. | ||

There are as many methods to multiplex stereo images to a HMD as there have been HMD products to support those methods. Basically two images are sent down one pipe, which requires alternating between them somehow, typically either by scanlines or by full-image frames. Other methods are less common, like over/under, where the upper/lower halves of a frame contain each image. Obviously, your hardware on both ends needs to be compatible per the method used. Of course passing two image streams at once cuts in half the bandwidth per stream. For scanline interleaved and over/under methods, this cuts vertical resolution in half (unless it is possible for the frame to be increased in height). For the frame interleaved method, refresh rate is halved (which is easier to increase using modern graphics cards). The last method is the simplest, hence seems to be most commonly used in more recent stereoscopic HMDs. Oh yeah, exception: there were some HMDs (Virtual Research and Kaiser) that used two separate video inputs (requiring rendering to two graphics cards)... but that's overkill, given the capabilities of today's cards (like from NVIDIA). | ||
