Samsung och POSTECH utvecklar metalliska material för ultralätta XR-headset

Samsung has announced a new metallic technology created in collaboration with Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) that enables high-quality images to be delivered through lightweight XR headsets.

Here's What We Know

This innovation will be part of the company's future devices, including the XR headset project, which the company plans to release in the near future.

The metallic materials used by Samsung scientists allow for high image clarity while significantly reducing the weight of the device. This makes XR headsets more comfortable to wear. The new metallinas are able to eliminate colour distortion, and in combination with holographic displays, they can eliminate optical defects.

The technology of the metallins was described in detail in an article published in the prestigious academic journal Nature Materials. The study was led by Dr Seokil Moon of Samsung Research and Professor Junsook Roh of POSTECH. The article states that the new metallins have a flat structure made of nanoelements that can control the distribution of light.

This technology makes it possible to create thin and efficient XR devices and cameras.

It is not yet known whether these metallins are used in Samsung's Project Moohan headset prototype. However, the company plans to continue to work with academic institutions and industry leaders to develop technologies that will influence the future of XR devices.

It is known that Google will allow Android XR users' cameras to be used in VR applications.
