Radiant Vision will have a booth at the event, which is happening at San Francisco’s Moscone Center. At the booth Radiant said it will offer live product demonstrations of its testing and measurement tools for XR (augmented, virtual, and mixed reality) headsets.
These demonstrations from booth 3021 will debut the company’s novel optical designs for imaging metrology, which enable ProMetric® Imaging Colorimeters and Photometers to capture and evaluate the full field of view (FOV) of virtual images from the intended position of the user’s eye inside XR headsets, the company stated in a press release.
According to Radiant Vision, the visual experience of virtual elements within an XR headset can only be qualified accurately by emulating the viewing parameters of the human user. Emulating these viewing parameters means taking account of the FOV of the user, the sensitivity of the human eye to light and its properties, and the position of the human pupil within the headset form factor.
“Test and measurement systems used to qualify XR displays meet these parameters using wide-FOV optics, photometric or colorimetric filters, and optical designs that enable systems to fit within the headset at the intended position,” the company said.
According to the company metrology tools like Radiant’s ProMetric Imaging Photometers and Colorimeters are able to capture images with the same sensitivity as the human eye by applying universally accepted spectral sensitivity functions from CIE that describe the standard human eye’s response to visible light.
“These principles enable ProMetric systems to quantify accurate brightness (luminance) and color (chromaticity) values for each pixel in an image of a display and compare these values in spatial context to ensure a display has proper contrast, uniformity, sharpness, focus, and more,” Radiant Vision said.
Photonics West takes place from January 22-27 and includes a full technical program, courses, and industry events, as well as the Photonics West Exhibition from January 25-27.
