The scientists also proposed new algorithms for rendering the image for improved visual quality.

Its part of an ongoing effort to make VR headsets that are comfortable to use for long periods.

The researchers say that their proposed design shows holograms through the use of a spatial light modulator.

But the headset would also be able to display flat images as well.

Holograms in displays basically means natural 3D images, Kim said.

Holographic displays are expensive and difficult to manufacture and require advanced computers to run.

With this camera-in-the-loop training, we can calibrate the system and generate a compensated phase pattern.

So the computational load of phase pattern generation is much higher than normal stereoscopic VR displays.

The Future May Be Holographic

NVIDIA isnt the only company working on holographic displays for VR.

If a user walks around the hologram, the user’s point of view can break the holographic illusion.
