➀ Microsoft's 'This is an Xbox' campaign promotes the idea that various hardware can access its Game Pass service.
➁ Meta confirmed in April 2024 that it was working with Microsoft to create a limited-edition Meta Quest inspired by Xbox.
➂ Leaked images suggest the upcoming Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition will cost $399 MSRP with 128GB of storage and include an Elite Strap, Xbox wireless controller, and three months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
➀ RayNeo Air 3s offers improved sharpness and audio quality over its predecessor;
➁ The design remains similar but still feels slightly cheap;
➂ RayNeo Air 3s provides a compelling AR experience at a lower price point.
➀ Microchip Technology introduces a comprehensive audio-to-haptic reference design tailored for next-generation VR, AR, and gaming devices. This design provides immersive haptic feedback by converting audio input into tactile sensations.
➁ The system features a low-voltage board containing a Bluetooth module (BM83) for wireless synchronization of stereo audio and a microcontroller with DSP for processing and conditioning audio signals. A high-voltage board with amplifiers and a Boost regulator drives up to four haptic actuators.
➂ The reference design is pre-programmed with firmware for immediate use and offers flexibility for customization. It supports battery-powered applications, making it ideal for portable VR and gaming devices.
➀ Researchers from Hanyang University, Yonsei University, and Sogang University in South Korea have developed a silicon-integrated hole transport layer using microlithography to enhance OLED performance without sacrificing energy efficiency.
➁ This innovation significantly improves charge balance, resulting in enhanced luminance and reduced crosstalk in OLED displays.
➂ The new structure achieved an ultra-high resolution of 10,062 pixels per inch (PPI) on a six-inch wafer, opening doors for high-definition OLED displays in VR, AR, smart glasses, wearables, and next-gen smartphones.
