Bigscreen Beyond: Why these glasses may disrupt the VR space

Are you ready to jump into VR? I am thinking about it and its all because of Bigscreen Beyond.

The concept of Virtual reality and VR headsets have been in existence for a long time.

In 1838, Sir Charles Wheatstone invented the stereoscope, a device that used two slightly different images to create a 3D effect. It is the basis of VR headsets today.

Although designed to make life easier, many consumers have not jumped on the VR wave. Some may point to the cost. However, others say it is still a matter of comfort. First of all, VR headsets can be cumbersome and uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time. Secondly, they are known to cause various side effects, such as motion sickness, eye strain, headaches, fatigue, and disorientation. Lastly, VR headsets also require a lot of space and setup, which may not be convenient or safe for some users.

Bigscreen – Small size

Ultra-light and compact, weighing only 127 grams and measuring 24 mm in length and 143.1 mm in width at its thinnest point Bigscreen Beyond is the world’s smallest VR headset.

This VR headset features an ultra-high resolution OLED micro-displays in a small package. Don’t let the size fool you. Each of the OLED displays pack a whopping 13.1 million pixels within the dual 1-inch display. However, unlike your great great grandfather’s (Sir Charles Weatstone) VR glasses, these glasses are customizable for each wearer.

A Personalized VR Experience

Firstly, each Bigscreen Beyond headset is custom-built for each customer using a 3D face scan. This ensures that the headset fits the shape of its owner’s face and provides optimal comfort and immersion. You can use the Bigscreen App to scan your face as part of the order process.

Secondly, users can personalize their VR headset from various accessories and options to enhance the VR experience. For example, you can purchase prescription lens inserts that magnetically fit into the headset if you need corrective vision. You can also buy an audio strap that delivers high-quality sound and improves the stability of the headset. Additionally, you can select different colors and designs for your headset and face cushion.

Innovative Pancake Optics Technology

Traditionally, VR headsets have used large LCD screens typically used for smartphones. They’ve gotten higher and higher resolution over the years.

This VR headset has taken this concept to the next level. Bigscreen Beyond features a breakthrough new technology called micro-OLED displays. It also leverages pancake Optics tech. Pancake optics is a groundbreaking technology, offering significant promise for virtual reality. Pancake lenses use polarization to fold light back onto itself through multiple optical elements. This enables large magnification in a very compact size, as well as improved clarity and better optical performance.

Combined with advanced pancake optics, Bigscreen Beyond achieves 2-3X greater visual fidelity than other VR headsets. It has a resolution of 5120 × 2560, up to 90Hz refresh rate, 32 pixels per degree (PPD), and a 102° field of view.
