Eyes-In With Flamera, Meta's Prototype Of Reprojection-Free Passthrough

Meta's research prototype, Flamera, aims to eliminate the need for reprojection in passthrough augmented reality (AR) headsets. Unlike current headsets that use high-resolution cameras and image processing algorithms to show the real world, Flamera uses a hardware design with 53 lenses per eye that focus light onto an image sensor. This approach results in lower latency, fewer visual artifacts, and a more accurate representation of the real world. However, Flamera's display system is subpar, with a low refresh rate and resolution. Despite this, the capture system shows promise, and Meta's Display Systems Research team is exploring potential solutions to improve the overall experience. While it remains to be seen if Flamera will be used in future products, it offers a unique approach to reprojection-free passthrough AR. For the full story, visit the source at UploadVR.
