Gamma Scientific wins award for AR/VR test solution

Display test equipment maker Gamma Scientific has been honored for its AR/VR test solution at the 2023 Laser Focus World Innovators Awards.

The California-based company was recognised as a platinum honoree at the awards event for its NED Rx test solution.

The NED Rx is “the world’s first AR/VR testing solution to measure both a see-through mode, testing prescription quality against a real-world target, and an augmented mode, characterizing the AR image as projected through a prescription eyepiece,” said Gamma Scientific.

The device allows manufacturers to fully characterize their devices by accommodating a broad range of human vision corrections, including astigmatism, nearsightedness (myopia), and farsightedness (hypermetropia).

“We are excited to receive the highest level of recognition for our NED Rx by such an esteemed panel of judges from the optics and photonics community,” said Sonika Obheroi, product manager of AR/VR test solutions at Gamma Scientific.

Laser Focus World Innovators Awards are organized by Laser Focus World, an industry magazine covering the photonics sector.

Obheroi went on: “We recognize that AR/VR has the potential to be as ubiquitous as sunglasses; the only way to achieve this is to ensure that all AR/VR devices, with or without prescription, are tested to the same exacting standards. Our NED Rx is the only solution that will make this possible.”
