The world's first VR device "HALFDIVE" Kickstarter, which is optimized for sleeping, is recruited for supporters on the night of December 16th

Diver-X Co., Ltd. will start recruiting supporters for the world's first VR device "Halfdive" (half-dive) using the crowdfunding platform "Kickstarter" on December 16th. announced.

"Halfdive" is developed on the premise of sleeping from the beginning, unlike a general VR head mounted display (hereinafter referred to as VR HMD).Most of the current VR HMDs are expected to be used while moving around, so it is necessary to be small and lightweight.However, under its restrictions, the progress of hardware remained in improving resolution and tracking accuracy due to improvement of semiconductor performance.On the other hand, the biggest feature of Halfdive is that it optimizes for sleeping while sleeping, and is completely stationary device to completely overcome the trade -off of weight, size, function, and comfort, and the direction of small and lighter.Then, it is possible to balance performance and function and comfort that are difficult to reach.In addition, the current VR system emphasizes physical synchronization that reflects real movements in virtual space, so players can only exercise based on physical laws in the real world, and draw in movies and animations.The company believes that it is difficult to do so much humans, and that the problem may hinder the growth of VR content.

The company has developed a technology "HDI" (HDI "(HDI" (HALFDIVE INTERFACE), which allows you to move your body in a virtual space and illusion that you are actually moving your body without moving your body in the real world.In the future, the goal is to combine Halfdive and Halfdive Interface to achieve pseudo full dive technology.

Parts such as optical systems, speakers, and cushions, including displays, are modularized, for example, replacing them with a module equipped with the latest display, and getting the latest specifications without replacing the entire headset.can.On the side of the housing, there is an RJ45 terminal and a screw hole for connecting an expansion module, which can install a powerful feedback module, a sensory feedback module, a wireless communication module, etc. to be released in the future.In addition, the design of the module and communication programs are scheduled to be opened, and the third party and users will develop their own modules to build an ecosystem to realize a higher quality VR experience.

There is a limit to the optical system that can be implemented in a limited space and weight.Halfdive overcomes those constraints, with a total of 10 non -sphere lenses, and solving the problem of optical lenses using existing frennel lenses, such as distortion and flare / video deterioration, to a maximum of 134 degrees ultra -high view.We realized an optical system that can balance horns and clear images.

Use a total of four speakers located inside the spherical housing that can cover the entire head to provide a high -quality and comfortable immersive sound experience.

The wind feedback is performed by two fans mounted on the head, and a more immersive VR experience is realized.In addition, this fan has a quiet mode and can be used to simply maintain the comfort of the wearer by the wind.

The powerful feedback module using a wire expresses the feeling of touching things in the VR space, the feeling of cutting with a sword, and the feeling of friction, and provides a higher -grade immersive experience.

The vibration feedback using the exciter uses the monster's footsteps, gun voices, and environmental sounds more realistically to the wearer to improve the immersive feeling.

The left and right ankle tilment allows the avatar's physical movement to emulate, and even if you are sleeping, you can express the same body movements than standing.(Such as squatting according to the degree of inclination of the ankle) It is compatible with all existing SteamVR content with its own driver and emulation.
