introducing expand expanses an immersive near eye display with see-through capability that uses your smartphone to project panoramic IMAX like imagery add up to five times the resolution of V our viewers providing you a personal theater experience anytime and anywhere compatible with most modern smartphones simply slide your phone in to expand connect an optional controller or air mouse and immerse yourself in your favorite movies shows and apps in stunning resolution hi I'm will founder of expanse as a gamer I love the idea of 3d hands-on fully immersive virtual-reality like the rift revived but there just isn't enough good content out for these devices and it'll take a while before there is so with that in mind I set to work designing a VR device that would transform the way we use non VR content like playing video games or binge watching your favorite movies or TV shows anyone who's watched a movie in a gear VR or a rift knows how our murse of it is watch a video in a life-size virtual theater but current VR devices just don't have the resolution needed for movies and games why is that well now give er each eye sees a separate roundish image but uses less than half of the screen worse the standard rectangular aspect ratio for videos and most non VR content has to fit within your VR square aspect ratio waiting another half of the pixel this is why gear VR content is pixelated and suffers from the so called screen door effect there just aren't enough pixels but with expand each eye can see all of the displays pixels providing it for 3.6 million pixels per eye almost twice the resolution of a 1080p TV and five times more than a movie in gear VR or a rib but resolution is only half the battle immersion also requires field of view other near eye displays are described as looking like a 50-inch TV of 8 V as you can see here this gives you about a 30 degree for comparison behind it is a 10-foot projector screen which provides a 64 degree field of view and here is expanse and almost twice the resolution and over 90 degrees field of view this means you can catch your favorite movie show or sports game on an IMAX sized screen in full resolution anywhere in your house or on the go fans uses your phone so you can stream your content anywhere you can get a cellular or Wi-Fi connection we've also sourced a full HD display cartridge that slides into expanse and connects to your favorite HDMI device and we're currently working on a 4k AMOLED cartridge which would provide a 4k feeder experience at 10% the cost of a similar TV but this is only the beginning expanses head tracking and see-through capability allow you to use it in new and exciting ways with it's stunning resolution expanse is the single best way to experience new and immersive 360 content spans doesn't suffer from pixelation or the so called screen door effect which can ruin immersion drone enthusiasts can watch a high-definition real-time feed from their drones camera overlaid on the real world letting you pilot your drones while simultaneously getting a first-person view of the flight from the cockpit and GoPro heroes can show off their most recent adventures the way they were meant to be seen while HDR photography enthusiasts can see their photos on site in wide field of view right when they take them expanse also offers new and exciting challenges for software developers to begin making the first wave of apps that utilize our unique speaker design whether it's a heads-up display of GPS or an augmented reality pet your imagination set the limit for what expanse can view we've been through countless product design and prototype iteration we finally arrived at a design that is comfortable functional and stylish we have production quotes from multiple manufacturers including a handful that are capable of molding including our unique optics you should be ready to start production in 12 weeks we're extremely excited to share expense to the Kickstarter community so please support and helped make expanse the reality can you imagine how future technologies will change our lives we live in reality but there is a dream inside everyone what if we can bridge the gap between dreams and reality hi my name is Amy I've been computer engineer for nearly 400 years I'm proud to present to you in person time virtual reality with an interactive experience like you have never seen before in person time is a revolutionary VR headset it is Wireless enabling unlimited movement and incorporates 3d gesture control position tracking in a perfect combination of both virtual and augmented reality I think interactive controllers are the last major obstacle for dr to achieve mass consumers options at its core it is a computer vision powerhouse made possible by our specially designed sensing hardware computing units and advanced algorithms virtual reality is my passion my dream has always been making a digital world as realistic natural interactive as a real one and combine the two worlds together in 2004 I've created one of the first virtual 3d desktop interfaces and I haven't stopped creating everything now at impression hi we are creating something that is truly mobile and many memory in the most engaging VR and AR experiences embedded IMU enabled high-performance at orientation tracking by observing the relative positioning in question pi is able to calculate the actual movements the computer vision algorithm processes the images of hands collects information on hand movements and generates 3d gesture modeling augmented reality overlays the real world within the virtual scenario to provide a spectacular display that makes what you see much more enjoyable you can also confer precious virtual moments and share them on social networks you we are a multidisciplinary team of core technologies developed in the Bay Area and we have manufacturing experts in China working to put increasing high mass production is designed to be fashionable foldable and very compact you can easily carry it you can enjoy in person pioneering social network education and a countless variety of ways to have a deeply immersive intellect 3d experience the oppression eyes erm a displays and some unique interested in just your controls that it brings to the mobile platform i think i will enable some very interesting gameplay mobile devices that are powering some of these drf i hope i really can always get a heads up as we have impression 5 and create a portal we designed this product to take you beyond the reality to where your imagination is the only limit in order to do that we need your support we ask you to play a part and share in the creation of this captivating product Paulo tour is one of the Holland's launch experiences it's a travel experience that makes you feel like you've been transported to a place and feel like you're really there it's a crazy goal feel like you're really there what does that even mean like how could you ever possibly achieve that we were able to take video and blend it with some 3d geometry near the user so you can get up out of your chair and experience the world around you as you go the fact that's untethered you can actually walk around the room you can turn around there are no wires to be in your way and that's not something that you just can't get on another device my favorite moment in Rome is when you travel back in time in the Coliseum and watch a gladiator fight from the perspective of the Emperor that's a really cool way to connect with history that you can't even get even when you're there the app developer side of this it is very approachable a lot of your design stems from a user's natural behavior when the users head is the virtual camera the user turns their head where they want and that drives the virtual camera that controls what they're seeing so finding ways to use body movements that match what your app is doing that's really the challenge with the sound because we have a very accurate understanding of where the users head is in space we can localize those sounds and make them feel like they're actually in the real world in exactly the same way that we do with Holograms the sound source feels like it's coming from that location I feel like a taps into these sort of underlying subconscious behaviors you know you can sort of start localizing things just by sound you're like it sounds like it's right up there as long as you focus on building experiences that bring these Holograms into your real world it doesn't really matter precisely what they're about as long as you're building human centered experiences Halla tour and showing you what this device can do and I hope that it's an inspiration for people that want to build their own app with a mixed reality device the real key is that ability to navigate the physical space very comfortably well same time occupying this immersive virtual space it still feels like magic now we are gives you a real feeling me captain the world's first controller that makes each touch and we are absolutely make them try to touch it it's so real that you're going to blush or left all want to know what the secret is it's an innovative technology with tiny cultures that create 100% real field it's the first time you can experience they're known for Jennifer and help to change the virtual reality forever you do have those people cake no wires one BR put it on and you're all set up let's make this huge step in we are together and we'll get a whole VR world opportunity after and it's like a bag and follow-the-sun kick off the shoes and have some fun get mad again let's go man oh yeah we kids ah so and let this moment there's no doctor so grab somebody don't you know oh
